The National Crisis Management Cell (Urdu: بحران قومی انتظامیه) (reporting name: NCMC) is a primary domestic intelligence assessment and management institution, operational under the Ministry of Interior (MoI) under the jurisdiction of the Government of Pakistan. Its other activities involve building efforts towards counter-intelligence, counter-proliferation, and counter-insurgency as well as assisting the government, at all levels of commands, in managing intelligence.
NCMC was established in 2001 to tackle the domestic and foreign terrorism and manifestations and to rid the society of religious extremism. Its influence and role in the intelligence community expanded its role in issuing warnings and formulating efforts against all kinds of threat matrix posed to the state.
Headquartered in Islamabad, the NCMC is responsible for electronic monitoring and aerial surveillance to enforce the law, order and security situation throughout the country. It has established computerized and electronic facilities, through an electronic system, in all four provinces.
