Kundi says KP police pay will at least match other forces
Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said on Monday the new Khyber Pakhtunkhwa setup would not compromise on police and that their pay would no longer be the lowest. He and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi co-chaired the apex committee earlier in the day.
Kundi told a press conference in Peshawar that KP police pay would at least equal other forces.
He said development could be sacrificed but security could not, and that police and the Crime Control Department come first.
The apex committee handout said intelligence-based operations would continue, and that police and the CTD would get equipment, vehicles, weapons and personnel.
Dawn reported that 61 law officers were de-notified and 27 new ones appointed after Sunday’s proclamation.
