Pakistan Punjab CM Security Staff Reshuffled Amidst Security Concerns
The security team of Pakistan's Punjab Chief Minister, Maryam Nawaz, has been changed.
This happened because some information was leaked, and there were threats.
The new security head is SP Hamza Amanullah.
The reshuffle is unusual and is thought to be because the CM's office information was compromised.
This may show some disagreement between the Punjab Police and the ISI, which is a key intelligence agency.
There's also a suggestion that the CM wants to limit the influence of the GHQ (Army Headquarters).
Intelligence sources indicate potential tensions and shifts in power.
