PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti Saturday said the nation was united against terrorists and the menace of terrorism would be wiped out from the country at all costs.
“We will not bow to the terrorists. Operation against the militants in South Waziristan has been launched and no one would be allowed to challenge the writ of the government elsewhere,” the chief minister told a cabinet meeting at the Civil Secretariat.
The meeting was convened in the wake of Waziristan operation and subsequent terrorist activities in the province.
Besides cabinet members, the meeting was also attended by the chief secretary and heads of all concerned departments and district coordination officers.
The meeting was briefed in detail about the operation in Waziristan and security arrangements in the province.
The chief minister lauded the sacrifices of the police and said all possible steps were being taken to strengthen the force in the province. He said the government had already decided to increase the strength of police in the districts. “The relatives of the slain cops would be proffered in new appointment,” the chief minister said and directed the concerned authorities to implement the ‘Shuhada Package’ as early as possible.
Hoti also said the police in Peshawar range and southern districts would also get special package soon.
He said a force comprising former soldiers would also be formed for Peshawar on which work was in progress.
