Shortly before the current attack in Rahim Yar Khan’s Machka area, Punjab Inspector General of Police Dr. Usman Anwar had issued warnings about the possibility of dacoit attacks in the Katcha area bordering Punjab and Sindh.

The IGP made it clear in an exclusive interview with Samaa TV that more attacks on police checkpoints are planned as part of the ongoing effort to combat dacoit gangs in the area.

Dr. Anwar further claimed that the only issues facing the neighboring region were those related to social and economic growth. Additionally, he made note of the fact that rising river levels caused dacoit gang activity to escalate, raising security worries. He issued a warning, saying that criminals took advantage of the difficult terrain and erratic river conditions in the Katcha area.

Dr. Usman Anwar said, “The police chief will say the same ten years later too.”

He added that the Punjab Police have set up 70 stations close to riverine areas in order to combat these threats, saying that the dacoits are unable to enter populous areas because of opposition at checkpoints in the area. These posts are positioned carefully to stop dacoits from entering Punjab from nearby regions like Sindh and penetrating populous areas.

The head of police also emphasized the operation’s achievements, especially in taking down big dacoit gangs like the Andhar and Shar gangs.

Dr. Anwar revealed that thermal imaging cameras had been placed at border crossings and checkpoints to improve surveillance capabilities. In order to better monitor and address dacoit activity, the police department is also currently acquiring telescopic weapons and surveillance drones.

He added that there was a risk of assaults in the Katcha region and that the Pakistan Army was essential in assisting the police operation by supplying cutting-edge gear and weaponry using its own resources. He declared that more equipment and drones would be bought.

In an interview with the media later in Rahim Yar Khan, the IGP stated that an operation had been carried out in the area last night, resulting in the death of the primary suspect in Thursday’s attack and the injuries of four to five others.

IGP,”The police departments of Punjab and Sindh are collaborating. He stated, “We are in contact with the IGP and the Sindh DIG is visiting. Intelligence-based actions are being carried out.

Dr. Usman Anwar clarified, “We are bolstering the checkpoints in the Katcha area.”

The chief minister of KP, Ali Amin Gandapur, has been granted three weeks of transit bail in his plea with the Peshawar High Court (PHC).

The appeal for information regarding charges against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was considered by a two-judge panel from the PHC, which included Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah.

The chief justice noted that the chief minister showed up for the court hearing, even though he was actually scheduled to be in Islamabad for an IMF meeting.

The applicant’s legal representative has asked for specifics of all pending charges against Chief Minister Gandapur, including those in Punjab.

According to the assistant attorney general, he told the ministry of the interior to adhere rigidly to court orders.

According to CJ Ibrahim, they have the option to request a response from the federal government and extend protection bail up to the Punjab region.

In every case, the additional attorney general ensured that court orders were implemented. He said that he had written to each district and requested details from the Punjab Police and the Inspector General.

The assistant attorney general has asked for an extension of three weeks to complete the report.

Gandapur could not attend the court daily due to his administrative duties and his position as chief minister and public office holder, according to Justice Asadullah.

After extending KP CM’s protective bail, the judge postponed the case hearing to December 17.

“Prepared to Protest”

Speaking to the media outside of PHC, KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur declared that he was prepared for the PTI protest meeting and that this time, the action plan will be stringent but undisclosed.

He emphasized that their peaceful protest was in accordance with their constitutionally protected right. According to him, his group was attacked, rubber bullets were shot, and routes were blocked so that protests couldn’t take place.
