Law enforcement agencies maintain their regular security operations through intelligence-based operations which target terrorist groups. The ministry confirmed that these operations proceed without disturbing the daily activities of nonviolent civilians who require no population movement or evacuation from their homes.
Local residents have expressed their concerns about armed groups in Tirah while they seek peace and stability for their community.
