  "summary": "Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz stated that the province faces a greater security threat from its neighbouring provinces than from neighbouring countries. She made these comments at an AI technology event in Lahore, where she also highlighted the improvement in the security situation with the use of technology, citing a 70% drop in crime.\n\nAccording to the Chief Minister, terrorism enters Punjab through its provincial borders, particularly from riverine areas that were once hubs of terrorism and crime. She claimed that the writ of the state has now been established in these areas. The threats, she said, come from the tri-border area and neighbouring provinces.\n\nThe Chief Minister's remarks drew strong condemnation from the opposition alliance Tehreek Tahafuz Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP), which demanded that she withdraw her remarks and apologise to the people of other provinces.",
