We patiently wait for these provinces to evolve. I would say another 20 years. One day Quetta and Peshawar will be as developed as Hong Kong

The state can only do so much. The men hiding in the mountains need to come down and build their communities through honest hard work and for people to care enough to want change.

Sorry man but I can't help but laugh at your dream about turning Quetta and Peshawar into Hong Kong, you know why those 2 cities can't be civilized or develop because of the people who live there, unless you plan to move all those who live there and replace it with educated decent people, those 2 cities will remain epicenter for terrorism.

Three terrorists were killed in Lakki Marwat’s Kot Kashmir on Wednesday in a gun battle with the police and local peace committee in which a cop was also martyred.

The incident reflects the escalating militant presence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Lakki Marwat district, where attacks have become more frequent in recent months despite ongoing efforts by local peace committees to maintain order and resist terrorist influence.

“In the exchange of fire, three Khawarij, including a key local terrorist, Commander Chhota Waseem Gundi Khankhel, were killed,” a statement by Lakki Marwat police spokesperson Shahid Marwat said.

Fitna Al Khawarij is the state-designated term for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

“Policeman Shahidullah Gundi Khankhel was seriously injured and was sent to the District Headquarters Hospital, where he was embraced martyrdom while succumbing to his injuries on the way,” the statement continued.

KP Inspector General of Police Zulfiqar Hameed praised the courage and bravery of the Lakki Marwat police, the statement said.

He also paid tribute to the patriotic spirit of the brave people of Lakki Marwat, who are standing by their police to cleanse their area from the Fitna al-Khawarij. He further announced cash rewards and certificates of appreciation for this successful operation.

The police received information that some terrorists were going from Gundi towards Kot Kashmir.

On the instructions of Bannu Regional Police Officer Sajjad Khan and District Police Officer Lakki Marwat Jawad Ishaq, the local police and peace committee chased the terrorists.

Police and local peace committees came face to face with Fitna-ul-Khawarij terrorists at Kot Kashmir, during which the latter opened fire.

During this, there was a fierce exchange of fire between the police and the terrorists, in which one terrorist was killed on the spot, while two terrorists entered a house and tried to use the women and children in the house as shields, the police said.
