Islamabad: Pakistani authorities plan to fit hard-line clerics with microchip bracelets for tracking their location across the Punjab province. Officials said the clerics placed in the ‘Fourth Schedule’ would be fitted with microchip bracelets. At least 1,000 such devices have already been handed over to the police department.
The devices have been designed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) and one microchip bracelet costs about Rs 25,000. Officials familiar with the development revealed that police force will begin fixing the microchips in the hardliners once the department gets green signal from the quarters concerned. “All arrangements have been made and modalities are finalised”, an official said.
