The deployment of Pakistan Army and Civil Armed Forces personnel for the purpose of preserving peace and security during the forthcoming general elections has been approved by the Federal Cabinet. On the suggestion of the Ministry of Interior, the Cabinet approved this during a meeting held in Islamabad today, which was presided over by Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar. It has been determined that these security officers would act as a rapid response force in addition to being in charge of voting places and sensitive regions. Speaking at the event, the prime minister praised the work of the acting finance minister, Dr. Shamshad Akhtar, for raising tax revenue, enhancing the tax-to-GDP ratio, and putting up comprehensive recommendations for the Federal Board of Revenue’s organisational structure.
