On Sunday, the Pakistani federal government authorized the deployment of Army troops and assets in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to assist civil power amid an emergency and Governor’s rule in the region. The authorization was issued via a Statutory Regulatory Order by the Interior Ministry, which outlined the deployment for the safety of citizens and government installations.
KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi and the Military Operations Directorate at GHQ Rawalpindi would determine the necessary forces. The order was shared with several key officials, including the President’s Secretary, Prime Minister’s Adviser, KP Governor’s Secretary, Military Operations Directorate GHQ Rawalpindi, KP Home Secretary, IGP of the province, and Peshawar High Court Registrar.
Following the imposition, containers were placed around Peshawar to block roads, including those leading to Khyber Bazaar, Shoba Bazaar, and the University Road area. Additionally, the main opposition alliance could not hold a press conference at KP House due to its sealing, instead choosing to convene at Jamia Al Wilaya near Bhara Kahu.
