The police headquarters had sent a proposal to the home department, detailing the significance of having five units at different places in view of the ground realities and past history, Darad told media persons.
The five regional units will monitor and take required action under their jurisdiction. Every regional team will be headed by DSP-rank officer.

"Apart from this, the prisons will also be monitored. If the criminals convicted in anti-national activities have come out of jail, these special teams formed at the police station level will also keep an eye on them. Information about liquor-drugs, cyber criminals etc. will also be shared with the concerned unit," he added....
