The Government of Balochistan has decided to increase the compensation package for police martyrs, including higher cash payments in lieu of residential plots or land. Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has sought a summary for formal approval.
Adviser to the Chief Minister on Information and Political Affairs, Shahid Rind, said the decision was made on the instructions of the Chief Minister to further strengthen the financial support package for the families of police martyrs.
Under the proposed revision, the cash compensation for the families of police personnel in BPS-1 to BPS-16—including constables, head constables, ASIs, sub-inspectors, and inspectors—will increase from Rs100 million to Rs125 million (from Rs1 crore to Rs1.25 crore).
