PESHAWAR (Kashmir English): An important meeting of the Provincial Apex Committee was held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi to discuss the security situation in the region.
The meeting was attended by provincial ministers, Corps Commander Peshawar, Chief Secretary, and IG Police, as well as senior civil, military, and law enforcement officials.
At the beginning of the meeting, Fateha was offered for the civilians, security forces and other law enforcement officials who were martyred in various incidents, and tributes were paid to the martyrs.
The meeting generally considered the action plan to eliminate the increasing incidents of terrorism and the scourge of Fitna-ul-Kharij in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and to establish complete peace and stability.
Moreover, the meeting decided that joint consultation, cooperation, and practical coordination of all political parties, public representatives, dignitaries, and the federal government are necessary for the success of a comprehensive policy against terrorism.
In this regard, it was decided in today’s meeting that the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province will not hesitate to make any sacrifice by using all its resources, including the army, police, CTD, and other institutions.
This long-term strategy will ensure the identification of all the motivations of terrorism, their elimination, and, as a result, the restoration of public confidence so that the government and the people can work together to ensure the security and development of the country.
The agenda of the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is that only good governance and public interest can unite the nation against terrorism. In this regard, in the first phase, the areas affected by terrorism will be converted into model good governance districts. And the deprivations in the provision of developmental and social services and economic growth will be addressed by using all government resources.
In this regard, a special package will be provided for security, communication, health, education, employment, basic amenities, and other services in these areas under a systematic program.
The forum decided that in the areas from which temporary displacement has been carried out for sustainable stability, the government will ensure complete care, rehabilitation, and provision of basic needs of the affected people during this process, so that this temporary difficulty can become the basis for peace, development, and prosperity in the future.
Their honorable return is the top priority of the government. Peace is our top priority; it will not be compromised, Chief Minister.
The civil government, administration, Pakistan Army, and other law enforcement agencies are on the same page for law and order and will continue their efforts together, Chief Minister.
This is a common war of all of us; it can only be won with joint efforts, Chief Minister Sarfraz added. This move is a positive outcome as the Chief MInister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Pakistan Army have joined hands to curb terrorism in the area.
