This commitment of Army Chief General Asim Munir is indeed very valuable and in line with our indispensable national need that the peace achieved by the great sacrifices of the nation will be maintained at any cost. He said this in a meeting with soldiers participating in anti-terrorism operations in Orakzai district and Tirah valley yesterday. In his address, he highlighted the fact that the sacrifices of martyrs strengthen our determination to fight with the spirit of sacrifice. According to the Public Relations Department of the Pakistan Army, the Army Chief was informed about the overall security situation and the details of the ongoing anti-terrorism operations and was also briefed on multilateral measures to ensure stability in the merged districts. According to ISPR.

The Army Chief appreciated the cooperation of police and law enforcement agencies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In a conversation with the officers and men, the Army Chief expressed his satisfaction with the high morale of the men and their readiness to respond effectively to all kinds of threats to defeat the nexus of the enemy and its instrumentalities of terrorists and end activities in the illegal sphere. The Army Chief expressed the need to increase the efficiency of the law enforcement agencies, which is certainly the need of the hour. Our law enforcement agencies undoubtedly need better equipment and advanced technical training to deal with the kind of advanced equipment and weapons that the terrorist's sponsoring powers are equipping them with. With the cooperation of the country's political and military leadership, there should be positive progress in this direction as soon as possible.

The army chief also assured the Pakistan Army of providing all possible support to the police and other law enforcement agencies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is clearly needed in the circumstances. However, the fight against terrorism has been ongoing for decades. The war has also revealed the fact that to permanently deal with this problem, only countermeasures, i.e., the physical elimination of terrorists and the elimination of their groups, are not enough, but for this, it is also necessary to remedy the causes that lead to terrorism. They lead to the birth of terrorism. Mere countermeasures prove to be effective to the extent of the elements who become the tools of anti-national forces for material interests, but the terrorist organizations and their affiliates do not adhere to any formal thought and philosophy or the state. have legitimate or illegitimate grievances of rights violations by them, they cannot be eliminated by mere countermeasures because new ones continue to evolve from their philosophy and thought.

In order to end this terrorism, it is necessary to address the legitimate grievances of the affected groups, for which the path of dialogue must be adopted. In addition, the organizations that have come into being in response to the aggressive actions of major powers in the past decades have given rise to such terrorist groups that consider reforming Muslim societies through terrorism instead of preaching and calling it a religious requirement. Their treatment is also not possible with only preventive measures. For this, it is necessary to correct the misunderstandings spread by their intellectual leaders in the light of the true teachings of the religion. Although this work has been done by the scholars in the form of their collective fatwas, but a continuous campaign on a large scale for general awareness of these references.should be organized so that it is clear about this type of terrorism that it is not meant to be taken to heaven but to hell.

The problems increased, and the estimated cost, which was estimated at 479 billion rupees at that time and 120 billion rupees spent on land purchase, has now increased to 1400 billion rupees. Due to the delay, its expenses increased enormously. This is a key project for water and food security of Pakistan.

In which it was emphasized to complete it as soon as possible. The meeting was attended by the federal secretaries of the relevant departments and senior officials of the institutions. The utility has already increased. It is not so easy to provide resources for this, but in the national interest, the government has to take necessary steps. Apart from irrigation and electricity, it can also become a great source of employment. In this regard, in the country The decision to build 32 new small dams is valuable, for which funds of billions of rupees have been allocated. This dam will be built by the federal government.
