Police peace committee members in Bannu concluded successful talks with police officials on Sunday, submitting an 11-point written assurance outlining a code of conduct for committee members. The assurance ensures that members will not engage in protests, strikes, sit-ins, or political activities and will adhere to the law while performing their duties.
They will not arrest individuals without legal authority and will cooperate with relevant law enforcement agencies, such as the Counter-Terrorism Department, on authorized officials' directives. Members will refrain from exceeding their authority and engaging in unlawful activities, accepting legal action if any violation occurs.
The peace committee representatives expressed concerns over the transfers of certain police personnel and called for the formation of district-level empowered committees for future decisions. They also urged authorities to avoid actions that could undermine the committee's role, emphasizing that if weakening the committee resulted in terrorists regaining power, the responsibility would rest with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa inspector general.
