As terrorist attacks increase in Pakistan, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has increased security protocols for Chinese nationals working on energy projects in the province.

“Your security is top priority for us as you are here for the prosperity and development of our country,” said District Police Officer (DPO) Shafiullah Khan Gandapur after visiting Suki Kinari and Balakot hydropower projects along with Deputy Commissioner (DC) Adnan Khan Bittani.

The DPO also stated, “We have enhanced multilayer security of Chinese nationals working on power projects in parts of the district.”

Officials stressed to reporters that Chinese workers will be provided enhanced security. “We have set standard operating procedures under the National Action Plan for the safety of engineers and workers executing those energy projects in the district.”
