Despite allocation of Rs 18.4 billion for law and order, the much-awaited explosive detectors have still not been provided to the militancy-plagued Khyber Pakhtunkhwa though the Chinese government has already provided it through soft loan of $ 2.96 million in July 2009.
These modern gadgets have already been installed in Islamabad and also in Swat during military operation of 2009 but it is not known yet that why these scanners have not been installed at important entry points of Peshawar especially the routes from Darra Adam Khail and Khyber Agency.
In the wake of frequent terror attacks in the provincial capital, comprehensive security measures are the need of the hour as the residents of Peshawar are no more ready to see their nears and dears in this blood bath.
To tackle the menace of terrorism, both the provincial and Federal government should take preventive measures and identify the roots through which the high quality explosives are being supplied to the heart of the city.
Rs 18.4 billion is a huge amount to restore law and order situation in the province but proper utilisation of this budget would need due consideration. Two year back in July, 2009, full road modern scanners provided by the Chinese government under soft loan of 2.96 million dollars but these scanners could not installed in the areas which were badly suffered in militancy. At that time Chinese Ambassador Luo Zhaohui who inked agreement with Interior Ministry had said that the scanners have no side effects and these are effective tool to foil the sabotaging bids of the terrorisms. However, the Pakistani Radiologist said that, these high resolution scanners have also some negative impacts of radiation if people passing again and again through it. They said that the scanners are suitable for border areas where people infrequently passing through these security gadgets.
