Airport attack causes revamp in administrative structure

KARACHI- In the wake of the Karachi airport attack on June 8 that claimed over two dozen lives, the authorities have now decided to bring administrative changes in the Airport Security Force (ASF) setup.

Under the proposed setup, a retired general will be an administrative official of the ASF. The administrator’s deputy will be a brigadier ranked officer.

Sources revealed that the new director general of the ASF would be appointed from the army in the next 24 hours. Once the new administrative changes come into effect, experts from the armed forces will provide training to the ASF sky marshal regarding the use of advanced weapons.
