In a major step toward enhancing public safety and combating terrorism, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Police has officially launched the Safe City Project in the most terrorism-affected southern districts of Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, and Lakki Marwat.
A formal agreement signing ceremony was held at the Central Police Office between the police and the National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC). The contract was signed by DIG Information Technology and Project Director for Safe City, Rai Ejaz Ahmad, on behalf of police, and GM Commercial Syed Amir Javed on behalf of NRTC.
The event was attended by IGP Zulfiqar Hameed, Additional IGP Headquarters Awal Khan, Additional IGP Operations Muhammad Ali Babakhel, Additional IGP Training Dr Muhammad Akhtar Abbas, DIG Headquarters Rizwan Manzoor, DIG Operations Rabnawaz Khan, DIG Finance Fida Hassan, DIG Security Dr Mian Saeed, Traffic Police Chief (retd) Capt Jawad Qamar, CCPO Peshawar Qasim Ali Khan, AIG Establishment Sonia Shamroz, and PSO to IGP Imran Khan.
The provincial government had already kick-started the long-delayed Peshawar Safe City Project on an emergency basis. Following the commencement of work in the provincial capital, surveys were conducted in the southern districts. With survey completion and PC-1 approval, formal implementation in these regions has now begun.
Under the project, over 400 high-resolution cameras will be installed at 86 key locations in DI Khan, more than 300 cameras at 69 locations in Bannu, and over 250 cameras at 41 locations in Lakki Marwat.
