Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor pledges stronger police support in anti-terror campaign2026-10-12Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said combating terrorism was the new administration’s top priority and promised police and the Counter-Terrorism Department the resources they need.Kundi pledged to raise police salaries to at least match those elsewhere in Pakistan, increase benefits for families of officers killed in service and provide free education for their children.The provincial Apex Committee directed departments to take coordinated action against terrorism, continue intelligence-based operations and strengthen police and counter-terrorism capacity with modern equipment and staffing.The committee also called for attention to education, health and living standards in underdeveloped and terrorism-affected areas.Kundi said the police force had about 17,000 vacancies, with some checkpoints and stations yet to be established.The pledges came a day after the federal government imposed governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, transferring provincial executive functions to Kundi.خیبر پختونخوا پولیس پر کوئی سمجھوتا نہیں کریں گے، فیصل کریم کنڈی (Hum News)KP's policies will come from Islamabad now, not Kabul, says Kundi (Dawn)KP apex committee vows decisive anti-terror steps, continued intelligence-based operations (Geo News)'No compromise on police': Kundi pledges enhanced support, pay raise for KP law enforcers (Dawn)KP Governor Kundi says provincial policy will come from Islamabad, not Kabul | Dunya News (Dunya News)دہشت گردی کا خاتمہ پہلی ترجیح، فوکس امن اور ترقی پر ہے، گورنر خیبر پختونخوا (Daily Jang)
