Islamabad: Interior Minister Senator Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi has emphasized that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) must play a proactive role in the present era to curb cybercrimes.

Mohsin Naqvi expressed these views while visiting the building designated for the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency headquarters in Islamabad. Minister of State for Interior Senator Muhammad Talal Chaudhry also accompanied the Interior Minister on the occasion.

During the visit, Mohsin Naqvi sought a comprehensive plan for the upgradation of the building, directing that a new floor be added to the building in view of the institution's growing requirements.
