ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Wafaqi cabinet ki Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) ne camera wale smart glasses ki import par pabandiyon ki manzoori de di hai, Finance Division ne Budh ko bataya, aur is tarah un chashmon par barhti hui bahas mein aik qaumi qadam shamil ho gaya hai jo khamoshi se logon ki film bana sakte hain.
Yeh faisla Commerce Division ki aik summary par Wazir-e-Khazana Muhammad Aurangzeb ki sadarat mein hone wale ijlas mein kiya gaya. Committee ne yeh sifarish bhi ki ke sooba'i hukumatein aur Islamabad Capital Territory in devices ke istemal ke bare mein kaam ki jagah ke liye qawaid nafiz karein.
Bayan mein kisi brand ka naam nahin liya gaya, aur na hi yeh bataya gaya ke pabandiyan kab se shuru hongi, kya woh mukammal pabandi ke barabar hain, ya mulk mein pehle se maujood chashmon ka kya hoga. Ray-Ban Meta glasses jaise devices is tareef mein aayenge, kyunke un mein built-in cameras hain.
Yeh muamla kyun samne aaya hai
Khadsha yeh hai ke aise chashme aam chashmon jaise lagte hain, lekin qareeb maujood kisi ko pata chale baghair tasweerein le sakte hain, record kar sakte hain aur livestream kar sakte hain.
Punjab mein Home Department ne 20 October ko 30 din ke liye camera wale smart glasses aur chhote posheeda cameras pehenne par pabandi laga di, saath hi unhein dukanon mein ya online farokht karne par bhi, aur is ki wajah privacy aur security, khaas taur par khawateen aur bachchon ko lahaq khatra bataya. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ke manzoor shuda phones, laptops aur tablets, aur mujaz qanoon nafiz karne wale ahalkar is se mustasna thay.
Lahore High Court mein aik petition mein bhi in ki baghair kisi zabte ke import aur farokht ko chunauti di gayi hai. Adalat ko bataya gaya ke Meta Pakistan ko in glasses ki market ke taur par list nahin karta, lekin yeh Lahore mein, bashumul Hafeez Centre, farokht ho rahe hain. Adalat ne September mein wafaqi hukumat, telecom authority aur Commerce Ministry ko notices jari kiye.
Agar aap ke paas aik joda hai ya aap khareedne ka iraada rakhte hain
ECC ke bayan mein ab tak Pakistan mein maujooda malikon ko kuch karne ke liye nahin kaha gaya. Lekin Punjab mein, jab tak yeh hukm nafiz hai, in glasses ko pehenne ya chalane par pabandi hai, aur yeh hukm taqreeban 19 November tak jari rehna hai, jab tak ise wapas na le liya jaye ya is ki muddat mein izafa na kiya jaye. Jo koi bhi bahar ke mulk se aik joda lane ka iraada rakhta ho, use chahiye ke wazarat-e-tijarat ke tafseelat shaya karne ka intezar kare.
