Owing to the ongoing security situation and tensions along the Pak-Afghan border, the Karak police have been put on high alert.

A police official said that the newly posted District Police Officer, Imran Khan, issued a special security advisory to subordinate police officers and cops, directing them to make security arrangements more effective to avert any untoward incident.

He said that the policemen had been directed to remain fully prepared and alert for any eventuality, as the miscreants could take advantage of the current tense situation between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

“The anti-peace elements can attempt to execute their nefarious plans and target public places and innocent citizens”, he feared, adding that the police are fully prepared to tackle any security challenge and thwart the malicious designs of the enemies of peace in the southern district.
