Security agencies lack coordination in Balochistan: Interior Minister
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said Tuesday that instead of coordinating, the security agencies in Balochistan were competing against one another, compounding the problems in the restive province.
The interior minister added that according to the Balochistan government the Frontier Constabulary (FC) was not in their control. “The former government has handed over FC control to the provincial government,” Nisar said.
Nisar said that he would be meeting with the Army chief and heads of security agencies. A meeting scheduled for 20 June with security agencies would also take place following which a security policy would be formulated, Nisar said.
The interior minister further added that two task forces would be constituted. These task forces would focus on anti-terrorism and missing persons.
