The federal government has authorized the deployment of Pakistan Army troops and assets in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to ensure the safety of lives, properties, and government installations, following the imposition of emergency rule in the province. This decision was made under Article 245 of the Constitution and is set to last until the proclamation expires.
The governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in consultation with the Military Operations Directorate at General Headquarters, will decide the number of troops and assets required for the deployment. The move comes in response to anti-government demonstrations led by supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and increasing militant violence in the region.
