Islamabad police chief visits counter-terrorism department to review security operations

Inspector General of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police, Muhammad Sohail Chaudhry, visited the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) headquarters on Thursday to review counter-terrorism operations and security arrangements, according to Associated Press of Pakistan.

During the visit, Chaudhry reviewed ongoing counter-terrorism measures as well as security arrangements at sensitive locations across the federal capital, a routine oversight function typically carried out by senior police leadership to assess operational readiness.

Ongoing security oversight

Visits of this kind by senior police officials are a regular part of maintaining security coordination in Pakistan's capital, where the CTD plays a central role in monitoring and responding to potential terrorism-related threats. Reviews of security arrangements at sensitive sites help ensure that protective measures remain up to date and that different units are properly coordinated.

The Islamabad Capital Territory Police oversee law enforcement in the country's capital, working alongside specialised units such as the CTD to address security threats that require dedicated counter-terrorism expertise, as opposed to routine policing matters.

No specific findings or changes resulting from the visit were disclosed. The inspection reflects the ICT Police's continued emphasis on maintaining a visible and active oversight role over counter-terrorism operations in Islamabad.
