On February 18, 2026, law enforcement in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa made significant strides in public safety with two major operations, while also contending with a broader context of crime across Pakistan. The police successfully seized 50 kilograms of smuggled silver valued at Rs. 50 million during a routine check at the Daraban check post in Dera Ismail Khan. This operation underscores the ongoing commitment of authorities to combat smuggling, with police officials stating, 'Strict monitoring at check posts will continue to prevent illegal movement of valuable commodities.' The suspects involved have been apprehended, and investigations are underway to trace the origins of the smuggled silver (ProPakistani).
