MANSEHRA: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police have enhanced security for Chinese engineers and workers of the two energy projects in Balakot tehsil.
“I am here to review the multilayered security arrangements put in place for the protection of the Chinese engineers working on the Balakot and Suki Kinari hydropower projects,” Sabir Khan, the superintendent of police Balakot, told reporters on Saturday.
Flanked by police officers and personnel, the SP reviewed the internal and external security arrangements of the Balakot Hydropower Project and directed the personnel deployed there to remain vigilant. “The security of the Chinese nationals working on energy projects aimed at overcoming the country’s electricity shortfall is our top priority. You should remain more vigilant and not allow strangers near the project sites,” Khan said.
The SP also held a meeting with Chinese officials and discussed in detail the security measures put in place by the police for the safety of the engineers and workers.
“The movement of Chinese engineers and workers should remain limited to their workplaces for safety purposes, as we have deployed multilayered
security arrangements,” the SP said.
