ISLAMABAD, September 7, 2025 – The Federal Government has appointed Mr. Muhammad Tahir, a BS-21 officer of the Police Service of Pakistan, as the new Inspector General of Police (IGP) Balochistan.
According to an official notification issued by the Establishment Division, Mr. Tahir was previously serving with the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and has now been transferred to Balochistan with immediate effect under Section 10 of the Civil Servants Act, 1973.

Observers note that Tahir’s appointment as IG Balochistan will play a pivotal role in reinforcing policing efforts in the strategically vital province.
