Islamabad (HRNW): A new bill has been introduced in the Senate proposing sweeping powers for telecommunications companies to access private property for the installation of telecom infrastructure.
According to the draft proposal, telecom companies may be allowed to require citizens to vacate their houses, shops, plots, or other private property on a 30-day notice to install towers or related equipment.
The proposed legislation further suggests that citizens who resist or refuse such access could face penalties of up to Rs. 50 million (5 crore).
The bill has sparked debate and concern in various circles, with legal experts and civil rights advocates questioning its potential implications on property rights and constitutional protections.
