**Interview with Inayatullah, Head of Dera Ismail Khan’s Bomb Disposal Unit**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Inayatullah. Many people know you as “Tiger,” a name that has become synonymous with bravery in Dera Ismail Khan. Can you tell us a little about your journey in the bomb disposal unit?
**Inayatullah:** Thank you for having me. My journey began in 1998 when I joined the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police as a constable. In 2000, I was assigned to the Bomb Disposal Unit, and since then, I have dedicated my life to this work. Over the last 24 years, my team and I have defused between 6,500 to 7,000 kilograms of explosives. It’s been challenging, but I believe in protecting the people of my community.
**Interviewer:** That’s an impressive and daunting task. You’ve faced many dangers in this line of work. Unfortunately, you suffered a severe injury during an operation. Can you share what happened?
**Inayatullah:** Yes, on January 20, 2014, I was responding to a call about mines in the Kalachi area. I had already disarmed several mines when I carelessly got up to turn off my camera, which was running out of memory. It was then that I triggered an explosion — my leg was blown off, and I suffered injuries to my fingers and shoulder. This incident was a painful reminder of the dangers we face daily.
**Interviewer:** It takes immense courage to pursue this line of work, especially after sustaining such injuries. How do you maintain your morale and commitment to your duties?
