Nope will be looking after VIP,s. CM already told Punjabi Tal1ban, that no one will touch them.

No, actually, none of that ever happened. No CM told any Punjabi Taliban anything, any such claims are mere conspiracy theory with no established factual basis.

This force is explicitly intended to not be a VIP defense force like the existing Police Elite Force is.

And btw, 'naya Pakistan' is Imran Khan's slogan - I thought you people hated him for allegedly being a terrorist sympathizer.

Anyways, rest assured, lots and lots of lessons from APS, but possibly not the ones you may believe in. i.e no strategic asset bull, all of that was abandoned decades ago. The lessons are about dealing with the terrorists on many levels, and it is being done.

So this counter terrorism force is to operate inside urban areas or fields and frontiers as both differ in modus operandi?

Urban areas, it's supposed to be a special police force for internal operations and law and order, not frontline combat. This force is under the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), its job is more along the lines of the FBI in the US, only it deals specifically with terrorism-related cases. Gathering intel, arresting, interrogating etc and possibly responding to (ongoing) attacks (usually military forces do that, but they may be planning on changing that, I can't say for sure).

The [Counter terrorism] department is initially establishing special police stations in Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi and Multan.

Officials at these police stations would register FIRs, interrogate suspects on physical remand and follow suspects’ trials in courts. Each special police station will be staffed by a DSP and an SP who would be the district and regional officer, respectively.

A senior official from the department told The Express Tribune that the CTD would register cases of sectarian and terrorist violence. He said the department was presently gathering intelligence regarding high-profile suspects, activities of outlawed organisations and was monitoring activities of people affiliated with them...
