Federal cabinet okays Rs 20 billion for operation Azm-e-Istehkam amid surging terror attacks

The Federal Cabinet has approved a substantial allocation of Rs20 billion for Operation Azm-e-Istehkam in response to the recent surge in terrorist attacks.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, where the country’s political, security, and economic situations were discussed in detail.

During the meeting, the cabinet received a comprehensive briefing on the security situation, which led to the approval of the Rs20 billion funding for the anti-terrorism operation. This allocation had previously been approved by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC).

The cabinet’s decision follows a series of deadly terrorist attacks in Balochistan that claimed the lives of nearly 50 people, including military personnel and civilians. These attacks took place in the Musakhel, Kalat, and Lasbela districts, resulting in significant civilian casualties.

Security forces and law enforcement agencies responded swiftly to the attacks, conducting clearance operations that led to the elimination of 21 terrorists.

Operation Azm-e-Istehkam, initially approved by the National Apex Committee, had faced reservations from opposition parties.
