In the wake of recent militant attacks on border check posts, the Punjab government has decided to procure bulletproof vehicles for the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) to enhance operational security in sensitive districts.
According to police sources, four armored vehicles will be purchased at an estimated cost of Rs120 million. The decision comes amid heightened security concerns following attacks targeting personnel stationed at border areas.
Officials said the procurement process will be carried out by the logistics branch under the Inspector General of the Punjab Police. The acquisition is expected to be completed within the next few weeks.
The newly acquired vehicles will be deployed in border districts including Mianwali and Dera Ghazi Khan, where senior officers require enhanced protection during field operations.
Authorities maintained that the move is part of broader efforts to strengthen security arrangements and improve the operational capacity of law enforcement agencies in vulnerable regions.
