Pakistan Army starts operation against TTP in Diamar Valley
GILGIT, Pakistan Army starts operation against TTP in Diamar Valley. Northern Pakistan: Pakistan Army military helicopters are busy in finding and killing terrorists as far as the lush green beautiful valley of Gilgit and Baltistan. Now operation against terrorists has been expanded to mountains of Diamer Valley. This is same place where Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) killed 12 foreign tourists last year. This Valley has been a perfect summer hideout of North Waziristani terrorists for the last 5 years but no action had ever been done against them because every time Chilas Jirga came to rescue terrorists whenever government tried to start action against them.
Chilas Jirga always got suspension of operation against terrorists from local administration and let terrorists to live and work in this dense forested valley. Majority of local officials has allegedly been supporting the cause of TTP that was also involved in cutting trees and selling them illegally with the alleged support of the Jirga.
TTP killed one Army Col and one SP Police last year. These two officials were working to find terrorists who killed tourists on Nanga Parbat trail. No operation in Diamar Valley was done even after the death of these two senior government officials of the security agencies. What was the reason and why government was not taking action in Chilas and Diamar valley? Nobody can answer this question except local administration. Local allegedly Jirga supports radical Islamisation in this area as thousands of Afghan Mujahideens settled in this area after 1979 Afghan-Russian Jihad.
Why Pakistan Army started operation in this area now?
Pakistan Army had credible information that TTP Jihadis left North Waziritsan and disappeared in Mansehra, Battle, Jangle Mangle Chilas, Babusar Top, Thak and Diamer Valley because Jihadi could not manage to run away inside Afghanistan this time due to strict security at Afghan border provided by US-Afghan forces on the request of the Pakistan Army. There is no doubt that many TTP members ran away to Afghanistan but not a big force could disappear in Afghanistan this time and Pakistan Army before starting operation ensured this leakage line.
On July 4, TTP attacked a police station in Darel Valley wearing army uniforms and took away arms, ammunition and police uniforms. They also directed policemen present in police station to leave government jobs and join TTP by offering them handsome salary package.
Now Pakistan Army is busy to find TTP members in dense forest of Thak Nullah that is at the left side of Babusar Top, Naran valley. This is the same place where TTP killed 30 bus passengers who were from Shia community of Gilgit Baltistan. Operation is also continue in Muspar Forest between Thak and Batogah Nullah.
Although Pakistan Army is keeping this operation low profile but locals of these areas confirmed that a full operation is on in forest and helicopters are also being used.

Actually the Chillas Jirga completely supported the search operation after the Nangaparbat incident. The locals voluntarily opened their doors to be searched by the authorities.

And frankly speaking this doesn't seem like a very credible news source, any other source available?

Actually the Chillas Jirga completely supported the search operation after the Nangaparbat incident. The locals voluntarily opened their doors to be searched by the authorities.

Locals are quite friendly and supportive of Pakistan and its forces, however, over the years, the area had become a safe haven for militants especially those belonging to SSP and TTP.

Locals are quite friendly and supportive of Pakistan and its forces, however, over the years, the area had become a safe haven for militants especially those belonging to SSP and TTP.

This area stretching from Kohistan to Chillas has been sort of a black-hole for as long as history can remember. It's a long stretch and is very sparsely populated and because of that dacoits and bandits have hid there on the rugged mountain slopes since forever. The authorities don't let you pass through it at night except with two escorted convoys which leave at 8 and 10 pm. There's virtually nothing there and you can disappear from the face of the planet quite easily in that area, so to speak.

 

[nwmalik]

We as a nation must keep eyes and ears open. Report suspicious activities. If we allow terrorists to find refuge among us then we have to pay for it (unfortunately). Lesson for all of us.

PA needs to go where ever they find rented terrorists. PA needs to start Military ops in Balochistan province asap.

TTP-linked terrorists hiding in Diamer, says GB police chief


The Gilgit-Baltistan Inspector General of Police Mohammad Saleem Bhatti said on Friday that police had information that a group of terrorists linked to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan was present in Diamer district, and a search operation to arrest them had been intensified.
Talking to reporters at his office here, he said that the group had kept contacts with the TTP in South and North Waziristan Agencies. He informed that two members of the group had taken shelter in North Waziristan Agency.

Mr Bhatti said that Gilgit-Baltistan Scouts, Pak Army and police were jointly conducting search operation in Diamer.

He added that the law enforcement agencies have arrested important terrorists involved in killing of nine foreign tourists at Nanga Parbat, last year, massacre of Shia passengers at Karakoram Highway and attack on Dodishal police station.

The police chief announced that 1,500 police vacancies would be created to address shortage of policemen in the region. He said special police training schools would also be established in the region.

KKH RECONSTRUCTION: Work on reconstruction of one kilometer portion of the Karakoram Highway at Hussaini near Attabad Lake couldn’t start even after passage of three months of its washing away in a glacier outburst.

Local residents and businessmen at Pak-China border expressed concern about government's non-serious attitude towards resolving the problem.

Moid Wakahni, a student, told Dawn that the glacial outburst caused flash floods in the area in April, cutting off from rest of the country 25,000 population of Gujal Valley in upper Hunza. He said that the people had to cross the flooded area boarding on bulldozers and heavy machines. He said there was shortage of food items and medicines in the region.

Mahboob Rabbani, a social worker, told Dawn that three months had passed since the incident occurred, but no government or non-government organisation had made any alternative route to facilitate the people. He said that Hussaini glacier was still melting, causing heavy floods at times.

KKH is the only source of land communication between Pakistan and China, but due to washing away of a portion of it, some traders have shut their businesses, rendering jobless thousands of labourers.

Kamaluddin, a student from Passu Gujal, said: “We are cut off from rest of country owing to blockade of KKH at Hussaini.” He said that crossing the Attabad Lake through boat was always risky as recently a boat capsized drowning two persons.
