The
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement has rubbishes the reports
of presence of Taliban fighters in big numbers in Swat district as being
misleading and grossly exaggerated. "During
the past few days, a misperception about the alleged presence of large number
of proscribed organisation TTP’s armed members in Swat Valley has been created
on social media. After confirmation on the ground, the reports have been found
as "grossly exaggerated and misleading” says an ISPR statement.
Small number
of armed men on few mountain tops between Swat and Dir has been observed,
located far away from population," the statement further said.
The ISPR
said that small number of armed men on few mountain tops between Swat and Dir
has been observed, located far away from population. Apparently, these
individuals sneaked in from Afghanistan to resettle in their native areas.
"A close watch is being maintained on their limited presence and movement
in mountains."
The
statement further said that required measures are in place by all
law-enforcement agencies (LEAs) for the safety and security of people. Presence
of militants anywhere will not be tolerated and they will be dealt with full
use of force if required."
