The approval was given by Inspector General of Police Nasir Khan Durrani here on Wednesday. According to a police spokesman, the special police officers and ex-servicemen were performing duties shoulder to shoulder with regular police in the fight against terrorists.

He said that the SPOs and ex-servicemen were performing well in the terrorism-affected districts and they had been exposed to the same level of risk as the regular police. So far over 80 SPOs and ex-servicemen had sacrificed their lives during duty.

However, in case of their death in the line of duty Rs0.5 million was given to the family of a constable and Rs0.1 million to an injured policeman.

`Keeping in view the important and crucial role of the SPOs and ex-servicemen in the ongoing war against terrorists IGP Nasir Khan Durrani has announced enlistment of their sons as constables and class-IV employees in the force to compensate the affected families,` he said. Bureau Report
