Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Requires PKR 30-40 Billion for 12 Districts: IG Zulfiqar Hamid

PESHAWAR: The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Zulfiqar Hamid announced that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police needs between PKR 30 to 40 billion to enhance security across 12 districts in the province. This funding is crucial for improving law enforcement capabilities and ensuring public safety.

During a press briefing, IGP Hamid emphasized the urgent need for financial resources to address the rising security challenges in the region. He stated, “Without adequate funding, our ability to maintain law and order and respond effectively to incidents will be severely compromised.” The proposed budget aims to bolster police infrastructure, training, and equipment.

The implications of this funding request are significant for the citizens of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as enhanced police capabilities could lead to improved safety and reduced crime rates. However, the challenge remains in securing the necessary budget from the provincial government amidst competing financial demands.

Moving forward, the provincial government is expected to hold discussions regarding the budget allocation in the upcoming assembly session. Stakeholders are urged to prioritize this funding to ensure that law enforcement agencies can effectively serve and protect the community.
