He mentioned that operations in the southern regions of the province will continue, aiming to minimise our losses while maximising damage to the enemy.

He further stated that in the first eight months of 2024, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police and Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) had killed 177 terrorists. The IG expressed his commitment to making every effort to ensure Khyber Pakhtunkhwa becomes a peaceful province.

IG KP added that the KP Police is a disciplined organization, with some individuals in the forefront and others behind the scenes. He noted that there are procedures for expressing legitimate demands.

Furthermore, mischief-makers are attempting to misuse the police’s sacrifices. In the fight against terrorism, the public, police, security forces, and agencies have worked together, and some elements are not fond of this positive joint cooperation.
