LAHORE: (Web Desk, Dunya News) – Pakistan soldiers have been sacrificing their lives, time, social circles and everything they have for the nation and Wajahat Saeed Khan took war reporting to a new level on Sunday on his show Mahaaz as he reached out to the soldiers who are fighting at the battlefront.

In his show ‘Mahaaz’, Wajahat S. Khan talked to the soldiers on the front, interviewed company commander, learnt about the sophisticated weapons deployed to eliminate the enemy and discussed the end to this war. One of the most difficult war terrains of the world were thus explained on TV and the feelings and activities of the soldiers at the front were shown to the viewers.

On the show, Wajahat showed the fallen trees and the trenches created due to the heavy shelling between Pakistan army and the terrorists, reporting from 12,000 feet above sea level, showing how our soldiers are fighting the hardships of the battle. “War isn’t an easy thing”, said Waj.

Talking to Wajahat on the show, Major Muhammad Ali Afridi told how the mortar guns can target the enemy within 7-kilometer radius of the gun. He told how the soldiers are sacrificing their time for the nation. “I slept only 2 hours last night and if I get 4-hour sleep tomorrow, I’ll consider myself a happy man”, said Major Afridi. “My team has been here for the last 6 months. Before that, we spent some 6 months in Darra Adam Khel. We also fought the terrorists in Swat operation in 2009-10”, he added.

Major Afridi said that all the adjacent villages to his highest post were controlled by the Tahreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). But Pak army regained the peaks and all the villages from the enemy. When asked how he projects the war now, Afridi said, “The war is coming to an end, Wajahat Bhai”.

Looking at the mountains and the tough alleys in this valley, it seems almost impossible to bring a car here. But Pakistan army has not only constructed roads and brigade headquarters here but has also brought tanks to this place. Kudos to the Engineering Corps. This shows the seriousness of the army in this war on terror. As Wajahat said in his show, “24 units are deployed here. Most of our corps do not comprise that many units but here we are. This shows Pakistan army’s commitment with this war as it moved its troops from the tense Eastern border to these mountains to fight the terrorists”.

Wajahat also talked to the soldiers appointed on the Observation Posts (OP), the first line of defence for the army where only 2 soldiers are deployed who keep a constant check on the enemy. They have been directed to shoot the first thing they see moving without asking any questions from anyone. “When I see the enemy, I shoot. I don’t need permission”, said the soldier up there.

Pakistan army has sacrificed too much in this war but they have achieved a lot more than that. Some of the highest battlegrounds of the world have been recaptured in this operation and there are hardly any terrorists left in the region. “Joint forces of 30 countries could not defeat these terrorists but Pakistan army alone has defeated a mass level radical insurgency. This is nothing ordinary. Research papers are being written today in the universities about this marvelous achievement”, said Wajahat.

The show received extraordinary praise from the Twitterati and the public at large.

A very fine read and such shows need to be done so that the people are reminded how our soldiers are fighting in one of the most difficult terrains in the world and the enemy knows how to use the environment to their advantage and yet we have been victorious so far and INSHA ALLAH will see it to end. This documentary also shows rhe commitment and seriousness of our forces in combatting these terrorists and protecting our internal security.

The government must he shown this as total victory is in their hands. Theyvhave to develop the region, bring prosperity and facilities so that such breeding grounds may end the terrorists backs will be broken just like in balochistan where a few development projects have broken their back. The govt mist realize that the men fighting will be there again fighting in a couple of decades if they don't do their part right. We develop data and balochistan and we can say good bye to these insurgencies.

Just watched the first part.... My God Look at those ridges and terrain... 12,000 ft high above sea level... i guess Cobras can only reach 10,000ft.... they might not be able to provide close support for the soldiers holding that peeks... but they have really pulled a miracle here ....

I have nothing but respect for Wajahat S. Khan- he is a great reporter and a great guy from what I can see.

The "enemy terrain" title of this article is perplexing however as the terrain of Pakistan's "enemies" is either its own (in the case of TTP) or very similar to Pakistan's (in the case of India).

Can anyone post the link for the Show " Mahaaz " in shawaal Valley ?

You can watch the whole program here:

Which terrain is ' enemy' terrain ?

The area that was under control by the TTP.
it meant the ground held by enemies of Pakistan...

I believe the name to be figurative. The Pak Army has taken back/has been taking back/fighting in areas formerly controlled by the TTP since some years now, so the name in that particular context does not make any sense.

I think this would all be cleared up if you changed the word "terrian" to "territory".

+ thanks for the link mate, I'll have to watch it when i get home.

This terrain is not what Pakistan India border is, thats a fact since im from AJK and i can assure u that if not check yr own pics of LOCs n compare. LOC is himalayas but this is Hindu kush, its most rugged place in the world where even superpowers failed be it British ops of 1919-1923 in WW1 or the soviat even American ops of today. No one ever managed to launch an operation on such a massive scale where 24 units r involved in one division which cant be the same numbers even in our corps.

I guess if u first see the program u will know yrself what we r talking abt and what we mean by ''enemy terrain''

Wajahat S Khan's Mahaz program from the frontlines of Shawal Valley.

The program has two parts u can watch them in above thread. I wanted to mention u there as well but i thought like last time i mentioned u, u had already watched or read the thread, hence i thought u would have seen the thread already. Sorry 4 that.
 
. .
I was actually confused about how the tank got up there as well.
Until the crew man put it that way, I figured it was a pain somewhat.

btw are there more episodes or only this and the june one?
