KP Government to Set Up 48 Check Posts on Tall Parachinar Road, Enhance Security Measures

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) government has announced significant security enhancements for the Tall Parachinar Road, a key route in the region. The provincial government plans to set up 48 new check posts along the road and form a specialized task force to ensure its protection.

According to a document from the KPK Home Department, a request will be made to the federal government to establish a cyber wing of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Parachinar. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to strengthen security infrastructure in the region and combat growing challenges, including the increasing threats of cybercrimes.

The new security measures include the creation of a special force tasked with protecting the Tall Parachinar Road. This force will be composed of 399 ex-servicemen, who will be recruited by the government. The force will operate under the supervision of the District Police Officer (DPO) and will be accountable for maintaining law and order in the area.

Weapons Management and Bunker Dismantling

In addition to strengthening physical security measures, the KPK government is also focusing on addressing the issue of illegal arms in the region. The government plans to purchase weapons from local Kurram residents and establish a special desk for the expedited issuance of weapon licenses. This initiative is intended to streamline the process of weapon ownership and ensure that firearms in the region are properly regulated.

As part of the ongoing security reforms, the government has also decided to dismantle all bunkers in the Kurram district by February 1. This will be carried out with the assistance of local police and district authorities. The removal of these bunkers is seen as a necessary step in the effort to restore peace and order in the area, which has faced security challenges in recent years.

A key part of the security plan is to gather and maintain a comprehensive digital record of weapons in the district. The district administration will take responsibility for supervising these weapons, ensuring that they are properly registered and tracked.

Security Enhancements in the Context of Regional Stability

These decisions come in the wake of increasing concerns about security and governance in the Kurram region. The Tall Parachinar Road, which connects various parts of the Kurram district, has long been a focal point for security challenges. The establishment of new check posts and the recruitment of former military personnel are seen as vital steps toward securing this key route and ensuring the safety of both locals and travelers.

The establishment of a special FIA cyber wing is another significant move. With cybercrimes and online threats on the rise, the presence of the FIA in Parachinar will provide much-needed oversight and enforcement capabilities in the region.

Timeline and Oversight

The KPK government has set a timeline for the completion of these initiatives. The recruitment of ex-servicemen for the new force is expected to be finalized soon, and the check posts will be established as part of the ongoing security efforts. The dismantling of bunkers and collection of weapons is set to be completed by February 1, 2025.

The district administration will oversee the implementation of these measures, ensuring that all processes, from weapon management to the deployment of the new security force, are carried out smoothly. The provincial government has emphasized that these measures are critical to restoring peace and improving the overall security situation in the region.

Conclusion: A Step Towards Long-Term Stability

The KPK government’s comprehensive approach to enhancing security in Kurram, especially along the Tall Parachinar Road, reflects a growing commitment to regional stability. With an emphasis on both physical and digital security, as well as effective weapons management, these initiatives are part of a broader effort to address the long-standing security concerns in the region.

As the implementation of these measures moves forward, they are expected to play a crucial role in fostering a safer and more stable environment for the people of Kurram and the broader Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
