A website blog has asked the government to direct Google to stop taking satellite images of sensitive locations through out the country.

According to the blog, it has been observed that Google updated satellite imagery of the PNS Mehran including assets, compounds, buildings, surroundings, fields and Chakora Nala around the boundary wall of the base.

By going through the entire base via Google maps, and navigating through the available images, one may not deny the fact that the service might have served terrorists in planning and carrying out the attack.

The level of details mentioned in maps makes it more likely that the terrorists had studied these maps before the sabotage action.

The blog recommended that like other nations, including India, the government should ask Google not to take satellite images of sensitive locations in Pakistan.

The government through the Ministry of IT should send a detailed list of deployments where Google should be asked to blur the images and/or not take close-up images.
