‘Khassadar Rules’: Senate body concerned over delay in proposals

PESHAWAR: Chairman, Senate Sub-Committee on State and Frontier Regions (SAFRON) Muhammad Saleh Shah on Tuesday expressed serious concern over failure of the relevant officials to forward recommendations on ‘Khassadar Rules’ to Law Division, which was evolved in 2015.

Chairing a meeting of the Sub-Committee, he directed the relevant officials to expeditiously give final touches to the recommendations and submit the same to Law Division, saying undue delay would further compound exploitation of the Khassadar Force. Senator Taj Muhammad Afridi, a member of the Sub-Committee, during the meeting regretted that the inhabitants of Fata were being denied jobs in NoGs and INGOs working in the area.
