federal government enforces social media restrictions for government employees
KARACHI: a female constable named Maria Gill has been suspended from her duties following the viral spread of a video featuring her on social media. The suspension, ordered by Deputy Inspector General (DIG) South, Syed Asad Raza, highlights a broader crackdown on unprofessional conduct within the police force.
Maria Gill, who is assigned to the Gizri police station, recorded a video while on Mai Kolachi Road. The video quickly circulated online, prompting concerns about the constable’s adherence to professional standards. DIG South, in his suspension order, underscored the importance of maintaining high levels of discipline and professionalism within the police force. He noted that such behavior undermines the integrity of the institution and cannot be overlooked.
This action aligns with a recent federal government directive that prohibits government employees from using social media without obtaining prior permission. The directive aims to curb unauthorized and potentially damaging online activity by public servants. The Establishment Division has reinforced this policy by issuing an office memorandum that mandates strict adherence to these social media guidelines.
The federal government’s move is part of a broader effort to ensure that all government employees adhere to professional standards and conduct themselves appropriately in both their official capacities and personal activities. The suspension of Maria Gill serves as a reminder of the increasing scrutiny on government officials and the need for vigilance in maintaining professional conduct both online and offline.
