Are you a hotel or guest house owner in Punjab? There’s an important deadline you can’t afford to miss! 🚨

📅 Deadline Alert:
June 15, 2025 is the final date for all hospitality providers in Punjab to register on the Hotel Eye portal or face legal consequences.
🔍 What is the Hotel Eye System?
Hotel Eye is a centralized digital surveillance platform that enables authorities to monitor guest data in real time. It’s designed to fight crime, terrorism, and illegal residency by requiring lodging providers to:
- Collect CNIC/passport info of all guests at check-in
- Enter data into the Hotel Eye online system
- Sync with NADRA and police criminal records
- Alert law enforcement instantly if a wanted individual checks in

🔐 Real-Time Law Enforcement Integration
With links to NADRA and PSRMS, any guest with a criminal background will be instantly flagged for police action.
🌐 Broader Rollout Expected
Already in use in Islamabad, this system reflects a growing national strategy for smart security and crime prevention.
