ISLAMABAD: In a significant move regarding the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), the federal government has decided to deploy personnel from the Pakistan Army’s technical wing to the agency, ARY News reported, citing sources.

The NCCIA has formally written to the Ministry of Interior on the matter.

Under the plan, two officers will be stationed in each of the agency’s zones across the country.
