The government is moving to form five new Ansar battalions in response to rising demands for maintaining law and order, ensuring the security of key point installations (KPIs), and assisting law enforcement during the upcoming national elections.

A proposal seeking the creation of 2,125 posts for the new battalions will be placed at the secretaries' committee on administrative development meeting, scheduled for tomorrow (10 September), with Cabinet Secretary Sheikh Abdur Rashid in the chair.

According to the home ministry, the posts include 20 permanent cadre positions under the revenue sector and 2,105 temporary positions. Each battalion will comprise 425 members.

The public administration and finance ministries have already approved the proposal, while the finance ministry has finalised the pay scale for all positions.
