The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cabinet in a meeting held here on Tuesday with Chief Minister Mahmood Khan in the chair reviewed the overall law and order situation in the province and expressed satisfaction over the measures taken by police and security forces for safeguarding the lives and property of the people.
Besides the cabinet members the meeting was attended by the Provincial Chief Secretary, IGP, Additional Chief Secretary, Senior Member Board of Revenue and Administrative Secretaries of various Government Departments. Special Assistant to Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information & PRs Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif while briefing media persons about the decisions of the cabinet meeting at ITLA’A Cell informed that the law and order situation arising out in Swat a few days back was effectively tackled owing to the timely measures adopted by the law enforcing agencies under the personal supervision of the Chief Minister.
“We assure the masses that there is nothing to worry as the provincial government will maintain its writ in the province at all costs and no compromise would be made on the solidarity of the country, safety of the people as well as maintenance of peace,” he remarked.
The news about deteriorating law and order situation in the social media, he said, was totally false and fabricated. The ceasefire with TTP is intact and a good omen is that no major incident has occurred which may lead to mistrust between the two parties, he observed. He further said that there were some groups which were inimical to the TTP’s peace accord.
