The federal government has decided to shift the headquarters of the Federal Constabulary (FC) from Peshawar to Islamabad in a major administrative reshuffle aimed at improving operational efficiency.
According to a press release from the Interior Ministry, the decision was taken during a high-level meeting chaired by Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi at CDA Headquarters. The meeting was attended by Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, Interior Secretary, Deputy Commandant FC, CDA Chairman, IG Islamabad, Deputy Commissioner Islamabad, and other senior officials.
Minister Mohsin Naqvi directed the CDA to identify suitable land in the federal capital for the new FC headquarters and prepare a master plan. “The site selection must cater to both headquarters and training requirements,” Naqvi stressed, adding that the government’s goal is to transform the Federal Constabulary into a modern, organized, and highly efficient national force.
This move comes after the federal government’s recent decision to convert the Frontier Constabulary into a countrywide federal force, aimed at strengthening internal security operations and improving coordination with provincial law enforcement agencies.
Officials said that relocating the headquarters to Islamabad will allow better resource allocation, centralized command, and closer liaison with the Ministry of Interior and other federal institutions.
