Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has announced a major increase in financial assistance for police personnel killed or injured on duty. The revised package raises compensation for lower-ranking officers and introduces additional support for families of martyred personnel.
The new arrangements also include cash payments instead of residential plots, financial assistance for children’s education and marriage expenses for martyrs’ daughters. Kundi announced the measures during a ceremony honouring police martyrs at the Governor House in Peshawar.
