کرک میں پولیس پر دہشت گرد حملے کی شدید مذمت کرتا ہوں۔ ڈی ایس پی سی ٹی ڈی عمران الدین سمیت چار پولیس اہلکاروں کی شہادت پر دلی افسوس ہے۔

دہشت گردی کے خلاف جنگ میں خیبرپختونخوا پولیس کی قربانیاں ناقابلِ فراموش ہیں۔ ہمارے شہداء کا لہو رائیگاں نہیں جائے گا، دہشت گردی کے خلاف ہمارا عزم مزید مضبوط ہوگا اور امن کے قیام کی جدوجہد جاری رہے گی۔

اللہ تعالیٰ شہداء کے درجات بلند فرمائے اور لواحقین کو صبرِ جمیل عطا فرمائے۔

Kundi prayed for the elevation of the ranks of the martyrs. He also prayed for patience for their grieving families.

A DSP leads a team and takes responsibility for the safety of others. When such an officer falls in the field, the entire force feels the pain. It also shows that senior officers stand on the front line with their men.

Sub-Inspector Afzal Awan, Havaldar Kazim and Head Constable Amjad served in the same spirit. Each of them wore the uniform with pride and paid the highest price for it.

Search operations are a routine and risky part of police work. Officers go into such missions knowing that danger can appear at any moment. Still, they do the job to protect people.

The families of the four martyrs are now facing a huge loss. Their grief is shared by colleagues and citizens who value the service of the police.

Police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have faced many attacks while fighting terrorism. Each martyr leaves behind a story of courage and duty. The names of Imran Ud Din Khan, Afzal Awan, Kazim and Amjad will be remembered with respect.

The killing of two terrorists shows that police responded strongly when attacked. Still, the price paid was heavy.

Peace in Karak and nearby areas depends on the efforts of police and the support of the public. The sacrifice of these four men is a reminder of how much is at stake.

The governor’s message was clear. Terrorism will not break the spirit of the police. The force will keep working for peace, even after painful losses.

Further details are expected as authorities continue their work. Stay with us for more updates.
