Pakistan

Army operations have been in progress extensively for the last two days. Losing some of its soldiers, Army is claiming to have killed terrorists in dozens including some of the Taliban leadership. But the most affected and unfortunate are the locals of Dir who are leaving the area in thousands. I wonder if the same was anticipated by the government. It should have learnt the lesson from the recent operations of the army in Swat before the truce. The local migrants have no place to go and nothing to eat. This plight of locals is going to convert some of them into Talibans. It's high time that the local migrants of Dir are duly attended to and looked after so that they remain sympathetic to the government and become good soucre of intelligence to root out Taliban.
