The army further said that disinfection operations were underway in the surrounding areas.
The operation, he said, is part of the ongoing anti-terrorism campaign carried out under ‘Azm-e-Istehkam’, approved by the federal committee in charge of the National Action Plan.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the role of security personnel involved in the Panjgur operation and expressed support for continued action against what he called militant networks and their facilitators. Naqvi said the government and security agencies would continue these efforts with public support.
