In a notification, the CAA said the step had been taken to ensure performance and safety measures [in the organisation], according to the APP.


The earlier order by ECP stated that websites, including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, will be blocked at the organisation's national secretariat in Islamabad, as well as its provincial offices.
