K-P CM Afridi Orders Rapid Security Upgrades, Pledges Zero Tolerance in Governance

The move follows years of militant threats to K-P police alongside recurring governance shortfalls.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said police will receive bulletproof vehicles, modern weapons and anti-drone systems, with emergency technology upgrades already underway.
  • Afridi announced a zero-tolerance policy on corruption and said postings, promotions and assignments will be tied to strict performance indicators.
  • He said officers will work without political interference, rejected decisions made behind closed doors and called for full transparency in administration.
  • Afridi warned that individuals without a legitimate role were meddling in provincial affairs and said such interference undermines stabilisation efforts.
  • A policy for families of martyred civil servants is being developed, and senior officials in Peshawar offered Fateha to honour police and civil administration martyrs.
