Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Chief Akhtar Hayat Gandapur has been removed from the post and directed to report to the Establishment Division, while Zulfiqar Hameed has been appointed as the new Inspector General (IG) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a private TV channel reported on Wednesday.
As per the report, Zulfiqar Hameed has previously served in various positions in the Punjab government. The Establishment Division has issued a notification regarding the appointments and transfers.
This change has come at a time when questions are being raised about the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and various security challenges are being faced in the province.
It should be noted that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been in the grip of terrorism for a long while the provincial government is under criticism from political parties for not addressing the worst law and other situations in the province.
There is also speculation that the ruling PTI has decided to remove Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for poor performance.
