WANA: Pakistan Army has launched scores of developmental projects under the directives of Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani in the militancy-affected South Waziristan Agency for the socio-economic uplift of the tribal people.

In addition to completing scores of multi-purposes projects in South Waziristan by Pakistan army, developmental schemes on various sectors including education, health, communication and water are underway in South Waziristan.


The ISPR on Thursday arranged a detail visit for Peshawar-based journalists who were flown to South Waziristan where they were shown and briefed about the developmental projects completed by army in the agency and ongoing multi-dimensional Gomal Zam dam.


Major Farruk Majeed, Project Officer Frontier Works Organization told journalists that work on a 15km Tank-Wana Road has been completed that would facilitate people of South Waziristan, Tank and DI Khan districts. Construction work on a 108km long Tank-Makeen Road and 101 km Tank-Wana road is also underway.


He said that work on Gomal Zam dam is also underway of which 90 per cent has been completed. The Gomal Zam Dam will boost up hydropower generation in FATA and would protect fertile land from flood and soil erosion besides converting most of barren land into canal-irrigated area that would generate employment opportunities for youth and bolstering income of poor segment of the society, Major Majeed remarked.


Journalists were also shown the under construction Government Girls Degree College Wana. Lt Col Akmal Hussain told the media that 40-explosive packed tunnels that were established by terrorists inside the college, have been cleared and its repair and maintenance work is underway and hopefully will complete by June next year, adding that this project would be completed with an estimated cost of Rs.107million. The building of the college would be earthquake proof and would be constructed on international building standards.


Malik Aman Khan and Malik Allah Yar Khan on behalf of tribal people on this occasion thanked the army chief for initiating a number of projects in South Waziristan and highly appreciated the army’s efforts for establishing the girls’ college and the roads projects, which was their decade-old demand.
They said that their girls would get quality education inside of the agency and will not go to other districts for the same. They assured full support to Pak Army in their future endeavours and vowed to fight alongside the military for the defence of the country.


The tribal people condemned US drone attacks and termed it violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. They said drone attacks are counterproductive.

Is the presence of the Army visible in Waziristan at all times?

I have friends from there, and Yes, in certain areas where there was the presence of TTP, you can see the Army everywhere, but in other areas, there presence is not much. They are present throughout but more in certain areas.

Thanks KKK wrora
This news truely clearifies that Army was there to uproot Taliban millitants, not to destroy Pashtun areas or to kill innocent Pashtuns. Curse on them who spread hatred.

Why army was there, what army did there, if they up-rooted militants, however, coming time will decide the outcomes of their actions.
But mehsud jirga, in my mind representative of the south waziristan (mehsud areas) was threatened by shahab ali shah that they should announce go back. Such things can never be solved with threats.
What happened to these Mehsuds in DI khan camps? How much insulted, abused and hated?
I don't blame only army, but as a whole the people of FATA are considered violanet, wild, beasts and then hated.
I don't know if army will be able to make them sure, they are safe there and they will not need to migrate again.
It is noteworthy, that this was the third migration from south waziristan in the last 10 years.
To provide safety, uprooting militants, closing militants nursruies is the sole repsonsibility, not a generosity of the pakistan government and army.

Lets hope for better, however things seems not well.

This is all fair and well and positive if true, but it doesn't quite fit the other stories coming out of Waziristan.

Khushal Khan - don't stage managed media events rouse your suspicion?

I have lots of swati friends. Who used to grow beards when they used to go home (swat) and they were saying these taliban and TNSM are good at nothing but slaying innocent people .
Besides most of these taliban were Charsiyan bangyan awo ghalagaran.
