PESHAWAR – The provincial capital, Peshawar, is currently witnessing a positive shift in its law and order situation, driven by coordinated and result oriented leadership.Under the command of Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Dr. Mian Saeed and SSP Operations Farhan Khan.
The city police have launched people friendly and legally grounded initiatives that are yielding visible improvements in public safety.
The ongoing crackdown against land grabbers and criminal networks has proven not only effective but also firmly rooted in legal authority.
Acting under the Police Act, criminal laws, and the Code of Criminal Procedure, the police are empowered to prevent crime, maintain public order, and safeguard the lives and property of citizens.Utilizing these lawful powers, Peshawar Police have taken decisive action against illegal land occupations, organized crime, and entrenched criminal syndicates, actions that are now producing tangible results.
As a consequence, the atmosphere of fear that once gripped several neighborhoods has significantly diminished.Areas previously influenced by land mafias, where residents felt vulnerable and insecure, are now witnessing the restoration of the state’s writ.Swift and lawful intervention in property disputes, often a trigger for serious violent incidents, has not only reduced tensions but also prevented potential bloodshed.At the police station level, reforms and community-focused measures have also been introduced.With the assistance of local elders and community leaders, disputes are being resolved through jirgas and reconciliation processes, strictly within the framework of the law.
This strategy aligns with constitutional and legal principles, as settlements reached through mutual consent promote social harmony while easing the burden on courts.While certain elements have attempted to criticize these actions on social media, ground realities tell a different story.A broad segment of the public has expressed satisfaction with the leadership of the senior police officers, viewing their efforts as a firm step toward strengthening the rule of law.Observers note that resistance and negative propaganda from facilitators of criminal and land mafia networks are an anticipated reaction to the disruption of their vested interests.
Despite the broader security challenges facing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the restoration of peace and effective crime control in the provincial capital stands out as a significant achievement.The professional strategy, coordinated teamwork, and decisive yet lawful actions of CCPO Dr. Mian Saeed and SSP Operations Farhan Khan have helped restore public confidence in the police institution.
The current situation reflects a fundamental truth, when leadership is strong, intentions are clear, and actions remain within constitutional boundaries, crime can be discouraged and meaningful public relief delivered simultaneously.The ongoing progress in Peshawar serves as evidence that the enforcement of law and public service can go hand in hand, provided leadership remains capable, courageous, and fully aware of its constitutional responsibilities.
