Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Acting Minister of Interior, who was speaking to a ceremony praising the security forces said that the number of police personnel in the ministry has increased to 230,000.

Haqqani also stated that coordination among security institutions is a prominent indicator of security establishment in the country.

“The police structure of the Ministry of Interior is a national structure composed of all brotherly ethnic groups of Afghanistan, and their number now reaches 230,000,” the acting minister said.

This senior security official of the Islamic Emirate also emphasized that the forces of the Islamic Emirate are responsible for ensuring security throughout the country, and no unauthorized person has the right to carry weapons. 

According to Haqqani, legal action will be taken against those who carry weapons without a permit.

“No one, except responsible individuals, has the right to carry weapons without a permit. Outside the Emirate’s structure, whether security companies, traders, the private sector, or any individual who wants to carry weapons, they will be allowed to do so only after obtaining a permit.” Added Haqqani.

Mohammad Mateen Mohammadi, a military affairs expert, told TOLOnews, “Education and training have a direct impact compared to merely having a large composition and number; the professionalism and expertise of security forces are important.”

The Acting Minister of Interior considered the implementation of projects such as TAPI, CASA-1000, Mes Aynak, railway projects, and mining extraction as indicators of overall security in the country.
