The Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has defused 201 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during the last year and save the loss of innocent lives and properties in the country. Keeping in view its vital role in combating terrorism, this unit has been equipped with latest tools, said a police statement, here on Friday.
In order to further improve its performance, Police School of Explosive Handling was established at Nowshera in 2015, in which different courses regarding explosive handling are arranged for the police jawans. So far, 3171 police officers and jawans including 86 ladies police have been trained in 130 courses.
With the offensive contributing role of the unit, there is definite decline on terrorist incidents not only in the KP province but its dividend is also felt by rest of the country.
The professional competence of the unit has been acknowledged by the federal government and the apex court many times by asking assistance of this unit in many major terrorist incidents. Bomb Disposal Units will be extended to the newly merged districts with full professional preparation, very soon.
