In addition, the force carried out more than 18,000 search-and-strike operations, set up over 95,000 snap checkpoints, checked 300,000 homes, seized over 30,000 illegal weapons, and conducted extensive bomb disposal and K9 unit operations.
Police infrastructure was reconstructed, the Peshawar Mega Safe City project reached its final stages, and community policing initiatives resolved thousands of disputes. Public service apps were launched, driving schools were revived, and over Rs 121 crore were spent on the welfare of police officers.
IGP Zulfiqar Hameed praised the police force for their sacrifices and reaffirmed that 2026 will continue to see strict action against terrorists, with the police remaining active on all fronts to ensure law and order in the province.
