In this connection, the KPK Police responded very effectively and arrested 1195 hardcore militants while 121 Proclaimed Offenders carrying head money were also arrested. 1192 cases of terrorism were traced and challaned.
The additional IGP CTD highlighted this aspect during the briefing that had these militants escaped from FATA were not arrested they could have played havoc in KPK.
Similarly in order to stop the infiltration and denying bases to the militants in settled areas, police undertook an extensive campaign of search & strike operations and also against land lords who had let out their places without informing police. In this connection, 22506 cases have been registered.
The IGP appreciated the role of KPK police in general and CTD in particular for rising up to the challenge and taking effective steps for neutralizing the militants in settled areas.
