Pakistan's Election Commission has asked the government to deploy regular army troops to ensure security during the general election scheduled for February 8, 2024. The commission stated that the provincial police force is insufficient, requiring at least 591,106 security personnel. There is a shortage of 277,558 police personnel in the provinces and federation. The demand for army deployment is not new in Pakistan. The caretaker Information Minister assured that the government will provide the necessary funds, as approved by the Cabinet, for the Election Commission's needs. Finance Secretary Imdadullah Bosal confirmed that the funds will be released within two days.
