The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police have proposed a staggering 250 percent increase in the basic salaries of their officers and personnel, pending final approval. This proposal, once implemented, could significantly boost the compensation package for those serving in the region's police force.
In addition to the salary hike, formal recommendations have also been made to grant hard area allowances to police personnel engaged in counter-terrorism operations. These hard area allowances are intended to compensate for the increased risks and challenges faced by officers working in high-risk zones.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Home Department had previously forwarded these recommendations to the federal government. Officials have stated that the specific districts designated as hard areas will be communicated after identifying the areas that meet the criteria. It is anticipated that all districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with the exception of Swabi and the Hazara division, will be classified as hard areas.
Once the necessary approvals are granted by the federal government, a formal notification will be issued to implement these changes. The proposal for the 250 percent salary increase was initially submitted to the federal government in March 2025. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police have long advocated for hard area status, citing the increased responsibilities related to counter-terrorism duties and the disparity in salaries compared to other provinces.
