Frontier Constabulary Becomes Federal Force via Ordinance

The Frontier Constabulary (FC), traditionally responsible for security in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and border areas, has been officially transformed into a nationwide Federal Constabulary following the issuance of a new ordinance. This change empowers the force to operate across Pakistan, supporting civil administration, maintaining law and order, and assisting in emergencies wherever needed. The move is aimed at strengthening internal security by providing a unified, centrally controlled paramilitary force with expanded jurisdiction. The ordinance outlines the new structure, command, and operational protocols for the Federal Constabulary, ensuring better coordination with provincial authorities and other security agencies. Officials say this step will help respond more effectively to security challenges and improve deployment flexibility throughout the country in times of crisis.
