Initially, eight Belgian Malinois dogs will be procured for Rs 5 million, six worthy-breed horses will be purchased for Rs 5 million, and puppies and foals will also be purchased and trained here in Pakistan by local trainers.
According to details, the Riot Management Police will also purchase two water cannons and one armored vehicle for Lahore and Rawalpindi each.
