‘Government writ restored in parts of Khar’

KHAR: The government’s writ has been restored in parts of Khar tehsil following a military operation in Bajaur Agency, officials said on Sunday.

The government has taken control of Khar Bazaar, Yousaf Abad, Tind Mor, Mir Ali Qila and Haji Abad, the political administration said. Locals expressed their pleasure at the Taliban being driven out of the area.

Security forces targeted suspected militant hideouts in Mamoond, Charmang and other parts of the agency.

Tribesmen regained control of the Salrzai tehsil after expelling Taliban militants from the area and torching their hideouts.

Meanwhile, militants torched a post office in Loyesam on Saturday.

An unannounced curfew remained in place in Jarmola Kilay, Haji Lawang and other parts of Bajaur Agency for the third consecutive day, causing inconvenience to the public. Meanwhile, residents said many houses had been robbed after their occupants left for safer places following the military operation against the Taliban. staff report
