Vigilance pivotal to thwart hostile attempts to create chaos: Pak Army Chief

TIL Desk/World/Karachi/ The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) in Pakistan, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, has called for constant and active vigilance to thwart any attempt to disrupt the efforts by the countrys armed forces in rooting out terrorism from the troubled tribal regions of North and South Waziristan.

The statement from the Pakistan Army Chief came amid targeted terror attacks, which have alarmed the security forces on the re-emergence of violence in the restive Waziristan region.

“Peace has largely returned to these areas. The hard-earned normalcy will be retained and enhanced through collective efforts of the local population, civil administration and law enforcement agencies,” Bajwa said during his interaction with the tribal elders in Mir Ali in North Waziristan.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the military, maintained in a statement that “General Qamar appreciated the tribesmen of their unflinching support and sacrifices in the fight against terrorism”. “We have to remain vigilant and steadfast to thwart hostile attempts to create chaos and reverse the gains of Operation Radd-ul-Fassad,” Bajwa said.
