Pakistan Interior Ministry Mandated to Develop Two-Year Transformation Plans

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has mandated that all institutions under the Ministry of Interior develop comprehensive two-year transformation plans. The directive aims to significantly upgrade performance and modernize operations to meet contemporary demands, fostering exemplary and public-friendly services.

The work of the Ministry of Interior is different and extraordinary in nature compared to other ministries.

Chairing a meeting with department heads, Naqvi emphasized the unique nature of the Interior Ministry's work. He assured that all necessary resources and support would be provided to newly established bodies like the Land Port Authority, stressing the importance of mutual cooperation among all organizations.

“

All institutions will be provided with required resources and full support.

Naqvi instructed the heads to enhance inter-departmental liaison and coordination. He also stressed the critical need for robust data security and cybersecurity measures. Empowering institutions to make autonomous decisions, rather than escalating every matter to the ministry, was also a key point. Proposals for legal amendments and reforms were encouraged where necessary.

“

Institutions should be autonomous and empowered and should take their own decisions. There is no need to send every matter to the ministry.

Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry noted a shift in the institutional culture, moving away from shirking responsibilities towards a target-based, results-oriented approach. He stated that fundamental positive changes have occurred within the ministry's departments under Naqvi's leadership. As an example of progress, Naqvi cited the absence of drug smuggling cases during the recent Haj operations, attributing this success to improved institutional performance.

All institutions will have to work in a target-based, result-oriented and performance-focused manner.
