PESHAWAR: Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif has said “we are in the most difficult phase of the anti-terror operation.”

He was chairing a special provincial Apex Committee meeting of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA was held here today at the Corps HQ.

COAS said that after successfully evicting terrorists form their sanctuaries and restoring writ of the state, we are in the most difficult phase of the operation; physically rebuilding the war-damaged areas, resettling of IDPs and eventually establishing an administrative system that focuses on the needs and aspirations of the people.

“Together, InshaAllah, with our tribal brethren we shall ensure that terrorists and their facilitators are never allowed to return to these areas”, COAS emphasized.
