At least know what you are talking about. Recruits are not armed any where. There should have been 20 newly raised Anti Terrorist Force Guys deployed at this centre all the time to protect. One Guard is a bloody joke. Also along with 20 ATF Guys trainers at this centre should have been Armed. The question is why on earth this centre was not being protected by at least 15 to 20 Police Commandos. This is high incompetence of Police.
@Sarge. Yes recruits can't be armed but your Elite Commandos should be deployed there all the time I mean from 15 to 20 Commandos. Pece with India good joke
@iPhone soon you would drop Punjab than Sindh and than Gilgil Baltistan and than other Pakistan.
Police should see how the Army and FC protect their educational and training establishments. Baloch Police should have learnt a lesson from the attack on Punjab Police School a few years ago.
The enemy looks for weak spots to do most damage and this is exactly what happened.
They come and study movement like spies do,
they see what goes in,
what comes out, what timings,
when does the guard change take place,
whats the number of guards present at a single point in time,
how many weapons are present on premises,
whats the reaction time of QRF,
how near of far is the nearest cantonment and police station for QRF to come,
when are important dates of inspections and visits,
when are canteens and messes filled up,
etc etc
After studying all this and whatever else they can, then the plan is made and disaster happens like what happened today.
I remember the night guard in PA at one important gate/check point/post, which may not be the Main Gate of campus is:
1 X NCO (havaldar,Guard commander)
3 X Sepoy
All equipped with G-3, torches, whistles and if the guard post isnt available, then a tent was authorised.
Next is the Guard room, the number of guards deployed depend upon the facility they are protecting. Usually a section level (upto 10) is present at all times for Alert call.
This may have changed now due to crisis situation in Pakistan. What can one single sentry at Guard tower do. Above all its a police establishment, not army.
