News Desk: Balochistan’s top police official says the province is making gains against violent threats while tightening discipline within the ranks. Inspector General Muhammad Tahir, in a year-end press briefing, outlined the numbers: 1,052 terrorism-related incidents were recorded in 2025, and security operations resulted in 89 militants killed. Police, working with partner agencies, carried out 2,702 intelligence-based operations that authorities say disrupted plots before they could unfold.
Tahir emphasized that the department is also looking inward. A new Internal Accountability Branch, led by a DIG, is now in place to strengthen oversight and ensure misconduct is handled quickly and transparently. He added that modernization is moving forward, with an MoU already signed to build a dedicated IT cadre to support digital policing tools now in development.
On the structural side, the transition of B areas to A areas continued. Upgrades were granted to officers in BPS-14 and BPS-16, while postings for 13 SDPOs, 93 SHOs, and 78 MHCs have been completed. Training remains a cornerstone of the plan: 6,276 personnel went through courses at the ATF School, ranging from two-week refreshers to intensive three-month programs.
The IG said these steps are aimed at building a force that is better trained, more accountable, and quicker to respond. He acknowledged there are still challenges ahead, but said coordination, technology, and steady reform are helping police stay a step ahead of emerging threats.
