Law enforcement officials have protested the growing militancy in Lakki Marwat and the neighboring areas by taking to the streets. They claim to feel exposed, and they would like to take the lead in the local fight against terrorism rather than the military.
Political parties, tribesmen, and civil society organizations have all shown support for the protesting police officers, who have been joined by their counterparts from neighboring districts like as Tank, D.I. Khan, and Bannu.
Traffic between this region of KP and the rest of the nation has been stopped as a result of the local administration’s unsuccessful attempts to break the deadlock.
The police officers had good reason to be concerned. 25 people were killed in 29 terrorist acts that occurred in KP in August alone, according to data that was just released.
The majority of individuals targeted by terrorism in Lakki Marwat and the adjacent regions are government officials, police officers, and security guards.
As a result, it is evident that there is serious worry about the situation of law and order in the region if police officers have taken to the streets to demonstrate.
When law enforcement personnel must openly voice their complaints and police morale is low, it indicates that the government and security services have failed to put an end to militancy in the impacted regions.
The fact that the local public is supporting the police officers’ requests is also noteworthy.
