CM says police and security forces personnel were sacrificing their lives to save people

Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo has said that the police have been freed from all sorts of pressure to ensure lasting peace in the province.
He expressed these views while addressing passing out of 7th badge at ATF Training School here Saturday. He said that the police faced numerous challenges and target killing, terrorism and attacks on forces were matter of concern but it was satisfying that the police and security forces were facing this situation with bravery and ensuring security to life and property of people by sacrificing their lives. Provincial ministers, MPAs, chief secretary, Balochistan IG police, Balochistan Constabulary commandant, PTCATF commandant and other senior police and FC officers were also present.
The CM said that the police would be provided with weapons, vehicles and other necessary equipment to establish it on modern lines and every requirement of police would be met. He said the police enjoyed support of state and assistance of Allah Almighty in struggle for establishing peace in the province.
He also appreciated the performance of ATF Training Centre. He advised those passing out that after training ATF should be more effective in discharge of its duty. They must ensure dignity of human rights and dignity of people and ensure security to life and property of people. He also announced cash prizes for policemen showing excellent performance and distributed certificates among them.
Addressing the ceremony, Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti said that joint efforts for sustainable peace in Balochistan were bearing fruit and peace and prosperity were returning to the province. ‘We cannot forget sacrifices of our martyrs’, he added.
Police Inspector General Moazzam Jah Ansari said that terrorism was the biggest problem of modern day for all. Opportunist elements were enticing people to destroy peace, unity and solidarity. He said the Balochistan government should provide necessary resources to the police and steps announced for resolving its problems and difficulties would help achieving targets in war on terror and establishing peace.
He said there was no training institution for ATF in Balochistan and first institution was set up in 2013 from where seventh badge was passing out today. He said some 1500 personnel were discharging their duties in different parts of Balochistan after their training. He said Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo patronised Balochistan Police by attending two ceremonies of police in week’s time and hoped that would continue ahead.
