ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday questioned the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government for its failure to establish the Counterterrorism Department (CTD) despite receiving Rs590 billion during the last 14 years. The prime minister said that KP people had been the frontline soldiers against terrorism which would always be remembered. He told the House that from 2010 till now, the KP province had received Rs590 billion but could not yet establish the CTD for which the funds were mainly allocated. This also needs to be looked into as why the CTD is still incomplete there despite getting such huge funds, he remarked. The prime minister also directed to formulate a strategy for giving awards to meritorious officers of the FBR.
