Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has termed Intelligence-based operations as inevitable for restoring law and order and eliminating terrorism in the province.

He was addressing the participants of a meeting in Peshawar today during a press briefing on the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The Governor categorically stated that there would be no negotiations with those who reject the state, Constitution and law and take up arms.

He said those who take up arms will be responded to in the same language and zero-tolerance policy is in force against terrorists.

He stated that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government demanded one hundred and sixty billion rupees for security requirements, which was supported by the federal government.

He described restoration of law and order in the province as amongst the top most priorities of government and expressed commitment to stand shoulder to shoulder with security forces and police in the fight against terrorism.

Faisal Karim Kundi said it has been decided to provide modern weapons and ammunition to the police, along with improved salaries and compensation packages for the families of martyrs.
