Khyber – Khyber Police has published its annual performance report, which depicts a great achievement in ensuring law and order within the combined districts.
The force has conducted a Khyber Police performance review under the head of District Police Officer (DPO) Waqar Ahmed, which has laid emphasis on a massive crackdown on illegal activities.
The year was marked by successful search and strike operations that saw 1,603 suspects being arrested and 1,589 cases registered, marking a resurgence of commitment to public safety and the rule of law in the region.
Record-Breaking Drug Recoveries
One of the major areas of the operation of the year was the eradication of narcotics, which have traditionally posed a threat to the lives of young people in the area.
The performance of the Khyber Police in this area led to the seizure of enormous amounts of illicit drugs, such as 3,782 kg of hashish, 416 kg of opium, and 746 kg of “ice” (methamphetamine).
Also, 355 kg of heroin and more than 21,000 ecstasy pills were confiscated. In these raids, several illegal drug factories have been identified and closed down, thereby disconnecting key supply chains that promoted addiction in the region.
Seizure of Illegal Weapons
Besides narcotics, the police achieved a lot in eradicating dangerous weapons in the streets to curb violent crime and terrorism.
The Khyber Police performance report records the retrieval of 58 Kalashnikovs, 172 pistols, and 119 hand grenades.
More military-grade equipment was also seized, such as mortar shells and RPG-7 projectiles.
The police have managed to intercept more than 8,000 cartridges and 245 kg of ammunition; therefore, pre-emption of any security risks to the people of the merged districts with a safer environment.
Accountability and Future Goals
DPO Waqar Ahmed underscored that such outcomes are the fruits of a stern policy of self-accountability in the department.
He observed that good work is rewarded and negligence is addressed directly through departmental action. It is hoped that the Khyber Police performance will also improve considerably in the following months as operations are stepped up.
Ahmed reiterated that safeguarding the life and property of the people should be the number one priority and that the police would still be using a zero-tolerance approach toward any kind of organized crime or unlawful ownership of weapons.
