The virtual system was launched several year ago with the intention to allow civil and police bureaucracies to connect with top officials for exchange of information and guideline. Under this system, the province’s chief secretary could simultaneously connect with all divisional commissioners, district deputy commissioners and provincial administrative secretaries. They help us connect to other secretaries and commissioners so that we can remain updated about all developments pertaining to the virus and the lockdown,” said the provincial chief secretary talking about the virtual platform. “All departments working on the frontlines have been appointed their focal persons to operate the video-link system, whose data has been provided to the Punjab Information Board. Addressing the concern, officials who use the Punjab government’s video-link system shared that it has a one-time password for each call.
