The federal government has proposed an allocation of more than Rs 259 billion for internal security in the upcoming fiscal year budget, aiming to strengthen law enforcement capabilities and improve the overall security environment in the country.

According to budget documents, the proposed funds will be utilized for enhancing operational capacity, upgrading security infrastructure, and supporting various federal and provincial law enforcement agencies engaged in maintaining internal peace and order.

Officials said that internal security remains a key priority for the government, especially in light of evolving security challenges. The allocation reflects a continued focus on improving preparedness, response mechanisms, and coordination among different security institutions.

A significant portion of the budget is expected to be directed toward police modernization, counter-terrorism efforts, intelligence coordination, and capacity-building programs for security personnel. These initiatives aim to improve efficiency and effectiveness in handling security-related incidents.

Government representatives emphasized that a stable internal security environment is essential for economic growth, investment, and public confidence. They added that sustained investment in security infrastructure is necessary to ensure long-term stability.

The final approval of the budget will be subject to parliamentary review and discussion, after which implementation plans will be formally executed by relevant departments.

Officials reiterated that strengthening internal security remains a core pillar of the government’s policy framework, aimed at ensuring peace, stability, and improved governance across the country.
