Islamabad (August 15, 2017): The interior ministry has directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) that no government official or other VIPs would be given protocol at airports across the country.
Interior ministry has ordered the FIA headquarters to scrape the FIA protocol. It also warned that any FIA official caught giving protocol to a VIP would face strict action.
The letter read that that immigration counters at airports would be monitored through CC TV recording and any VIP was seen being given special treatment, the immigration staff and their shift in-charge would be immediately suspended.
