This development comes in the wake of the KP Apex Committee meeting held earlier this week, where the demands of the Bannu Peace Jirga were unanimously approved. Among these demands was the call to empower the police to take decisive action against militants.
The KP government's request highlights the urgent need for enhanced resources to ensure the safety and security of the province amidst ongoing security challenges.
