QUETTA, November 14: Balochistan Chief Minister’s Adviser on Information and Political Affairs Shahid Rind has praised security forces for their intelligence-based operations against terrorists in Kolpur, Kirdgap and Nushki, describing them as a reflection of their professional capabilities and commitment to maintaining peace.
In a statement, he congratulated security forces on eliminating eight terrorists, including a suicide bomber, during an operation in Kolpur. He said the recovery of a substantial quantity of arms and ammunition demonstrated the effectiveness of the security forces’ strategy.
Shahid Rind strongly condemned the use of armed drones by terrorists to target security forces’ vehicles and expressed deep sorrow over the martyrdom of Major Umar Minhas Nasir and Havaldar Muhammad Adnan Khan.
He said the personnel who sacrificed their lives for the defence of the country and the protection of its people were a source of pride for the entire nation. Their sacrifices, he added, would further strengthen the national resolve to eliminate terrorism.
He stated that security forces were fully aware of evolving terrorist tactics, including the use of modern drone technology and explosives, and were taking effective measures to counter emerging threats.
The adviser emphasized the importance of enhanced security and patrolling along major highways, particularly the Quetta-Taftan National Highway, to protect citizens and ensure safe movement.
He said clearance operations and security measures should continue until the complete elimination of terrorist threats, adding that the state would not compromise on law and order or the protection of citizens.
He further said that counterterrorism operations under the national vision of Azm-e-Istehkam reflected the country’s collective determination to eliminate terrorism, while the people and government of Balochistan stood firmly alongside security forces.
