Literally thousands of people are daily leaving the Bajaur and Mahmand Agency due to the infighting between Talibans and the clashes of them with the security forces. Just within two days, more than 50 people have died and many are injured.

Now the reports are that in the Bajaur Agency, the group of Maulvi Faqir Mohammad is forcing people to not to leave the area and fight against the security forces and the other militant factions. Militants are also using common residents of the area as a shield and these people are who are actually dying in the attacks of the security forces. Militants are also trying to recruit the young and novice boys of the areas in FATA and things are very alarming.

Security forces have started a clean-up operation and they need to expedite it to alleviate the miseries of the people and to save the area from a major catastrophe. Besides paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) and Bajaur Levies personnel, Pakistan Army soldiers are also taking part in the clean-up operation.

Our brethren in the FATA area need our solidarity and material aid, while Army needs our whole-hearted support.
