      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Counter-Terrorism Committee has reached a consensus to classify explosive materials as a “federal subject.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The decision was made during a meeting chaired by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who emphasized the need for effective measures to address terrorism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The committee has resolved to raise the issue of terrorism with the Afghan government through the Foreign Ministry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Minister Naqvi announced plans to transform the Frontier Corps into a “National Reserve Police,” aiming to bolster security forces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, the establishment of Provincial Intelligence Fusion and Threat Assessment Centers is underway, with a commitment to involve provincial consultations in all decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Naqvi stressed the necessity of fully activating the Counter-Terrorism Department at both federal and provincial levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He assured that maximum assistance would be provided to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, declaring that the security of foreign nationals would be ensured at all costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The interior minister reiterated the commitment to providing foolproof security for foreign citizens, highlighting that political and military leadership, along with stakeholders, are united in the fight against terrorism.&lt;/p&gt;
