ISLAMABAD: The army’s top brass gathered on Wednesday for the monthly corps commanders meeting.
“Matters of professional interest were discussed during the 175th corps commanders’ conference held at General Headquarters and presided over by the Chief of Army Staff, General Raheel Sharif,” a military spokesman said.
The agenda of the meeting mostly related to the ongoing Zarb-i-Azb operation in North Waziristan.
“General Sharif expressed satisfaction on the progress of the operation and lauded the successes made so far,” the spokesman said.
It was the last meeting for four corps commanders, who are retiring this month. They include Lt Gen Khalid Rabbani and Lt Gen Tariq Khan (retiring on Oct 2), Lt Gen Saleem Nawaz (Oct 20) and Lt Gen Sajjad Ghani (Oct 25).
The meeting may also be the last for the Director General of the Inter Services Intelligence, Lt Gen Zaheerul Islam, who will retire on Nov 7.
Gen Sharif paid tribute to the retiring officials and praised their services.
The duration of the conference was reduced because two of the participants had proceeded for Haj.

Khyber agency is like Shawal full of forests and hilly terrain. Have a look at Google maps to get an idea how hard is it main constant army presence and how easy for terrorists to play hide and seek in forests !

Dealing with criminal gangs is an ongoing thing.

They exist just like $hit.

No matter how well you do $hit, and you have to do it again (hopefully the next day and not before). :lol:

but what the reason swat is a success story?
swat is secured by the security forces
they did operation once and for all in 2009 and we never felt need of doing it again
but in fata we did operations sucessfuly but couldnt secure the area like swat
and kept on doing operatons repeatedly in the same areas of all agencies again n again

Agreed. Swat is better than khyber.

But ops are ongoing over there too.

As a I said, gangs are like $hit.

Actually operations in khyber agency always have been half-hearted and incomplete. The terrain is difficult, but so was swat, shangla. @PunjabLion has point. Also militants of khyber are not as organized , capable and numerous like those of waziristan.

Army is not police, its not civil administration.
its the job of local administration and the police to establish the writ again once the area is cleared by the military.
failing that means the army has to keep coming back
 
Hi,

The operations are weak because the Pakistani public wants them to be----. You want the operations to be strong----have summary courts charge and execute the terrs and if any judge gives a stay order----hang him as well.

It will give a clear message to the military.

Public wants them to be because they are impressionable due to ttp loving leaders like Imran Khan. To this date, he still does not agree with the military operation. His elected province is burning and he's busy dancing in different cities in the country promoting his self centered agenda.
