Gilgit-Baltistan — The Gilgit-Baltistan Police have officially prohibited their officers and constables from using TikTok, citing the need to maintain discipline, uniformity, and the dignity of the force.
Official Notification
According to a notification issued by the Inspector General of Police (IGP)’s office, no police officer or staff member is allowed to use the video-sharing platform under any circumstances. District police officers have been directed to enforce strict compliance, with violators warned of departmental action.
Reason Behind the Ban
Authorities say the measure is part of wider efforts to safeguard the professional image of the force. Officials emphasized that TikTok usage among police personnel undermines public perception of law enforcement and distracts officers from their duties.
Similar Precedents Across Pakistan
This decision comes in the wake of earlier cases in Islamabad and Punjab, where police officials faced disciplinary action, including suspensions, for posting TikTok videos in uniform. Those incidents sparked widespread debates on social media about professionalism and misuse of authority.
Upholding Professional Standards
By banning TikTok, the Gilgit-Baltistan Police hope to reinforce internal discipline and prevent misuse of official status for personal social media fame. Authorities believe the ban will help restore confidence in the force and set a precedent for other law enforcement agencies.
