He said timely reporting about 1,100 cases by the agencies saved the country from terrorist activities...
He said during the last five month about 48 police personnel had embraced martyrdom while taking action against criminals. He said all checkpoints in the capital had been restored and the police forces deployed there had been directed to check people without any discrimination.

Have a great day.
