Zarb-i-Azb: Two more militant strongholds cleared in NWA
ISLAMABAD: After Miramshah, two important villages of North Waziristan Boya and Degan, which were known to be strongholds of local and foreign militants, have been cleared by Pakistani armed forces.
“Consolidation of Boya and Degan is in progress,” said a press release issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday.
This information, however, could not be independently verified.
Terrorists are being eliminated and dislodged from their bases in North Waziristan as the operation progresses as per plan, said the statement.
The press release said that house to house search in Mussaki, Hurmez and Mirali Bazar was being carried out by integrated group of forces.
Terrorists holed up inside Mirali and surrounding areas have been firing rockets and mortars and using heavy machine guns and sniper rifles, said the statement, adding that four terrorists were killed during an exchange of fire last night.
According to ISPR, 12 IEDs were neutralised last night alone, while an IED making factory, huge cache of arms and ammunition and foreign currency were also recovered.
Corps Commander Lieutenant General Khalid Rabbani also visited Mirali, Boya and Degan areas of North Waziristan Agency earlier today and met with the Army troops.

Pillion riding banned in Quetta for Youm-i-Ali
QUETTA: In view of security threats, the Balochistan government has decided to impose a ban on pillion riding on the eve of Youm-i-Ali in the provincial capital.
Home Secretary Balochistan, Akbar Hussain Durrani on Saturday told Dawn.com that article 144 would be intact for a day in the city to ensure peace.
“Except Quetta, there would be no ban on pillion riding in other cities of Balochistan,” Durrani said.
The provincial government has already placed paramilitary troops and police on a high alert to avert any untoward incident on the occasion.
The home secretary stated that so far no decision was made to suspend mobile phone services in Quetta. Security on roads and streets leading to Hazara Town, Alamdar road and other areas has been tightened.
“Frontier Corps and Police are deployed at all sensitive points in the city,” Durrani informed.
The government has already declared 55 Imam Bargahs as sensitive for Youm-i-Ali. The provincial high ups held a high level law and order meeting to evolve an effective security strategy in the city.
Shops and markets located on the route of procession would be sealed off by the administration to minimise the danger of terrorism.
Mourning processions would be taken out in Hazara Town and Alamdar road in connection with Youm-i-Ali.
Nawaz forms committee for Independence Day ceremonies
Nawaz forms committee for Independence Day ceremonies
LAHORE: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has constituted a special five-member cabinet committee to monitor arrangements regarding ceremonies proposed to celebrate the Independence Day throughout the month of August.
According to a press release issued on Saturday, Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique will head the committee, which comprises of Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed, Federal Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination Riaz Hussain Pirzada, Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Resources Jaam Kamal Khan and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Irfan Siddiqui.
It is pertinent to mention that the country-wide ceremonies from August 1 to August 30 have been dedicated to martyrs of Tehreek-i-Pakistan and war against terrorism, said the press release.
The cabinet committee will not only finalise programmes regarding the Independence Day but it will also work for coordination among federal ministries and provincial governments.
In a bid to counter the ongoing campaign of Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) regarding the electoral reforms, Prime Minister Sharif has also sought to constitute a special parliamentary committee with members of both houses of parliament to deliberate on the issue.
The PTI chief has called for a million-man march on Islamabad next month to press its demands around electoral reforms.
The party has also decided to seek the support of other parties in the opposition for its proposed Aug 14 march.
Majority of the PTI leaders believe that moral support of other parties, particularly the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), would strengthen the party’s hand in its demand for electoral reforms and for investigation into its claims of fraud in the May 2013 general elections.
The party leadership also welcomed former president Asif Ali Zardari’s statement in which he supported PTI’s demand for recount of votes and held up its right to hold demonstrations for electoral reforms.

Counter-terror measure: Nadra, police begin data collection survey in Islamabad
Counter-terror measure: Nadra, police begin data collection survey in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD: In a bid to closely monitor terror activity in the capital, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) and police have started a data survey for all residents on Saturday.
The surveys will be collected to create a comprehensive database — including the residents' family connections — which is expected to help security officials in countering terrorist and criminal activities.
In order to carry out the survey effectively, at least 40 Nadra-police coordinated teams are assigned for the job.
According to media reports, the survey will be completed in two months' time.
The survey will not only include urban areas but identification data on residents from Islamabad’s remote areas will also be collected, so people can be traced if there is suspicion of involvement in terrorism.
In April this year, a report jointly prepared by the Rawalpindi and Islamabad police claimed that the outlawed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was getting active support from hardliner religious seminaries to carry out terrorist attacks in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
In the same month, a deadly terrorist attack in the Sabzi Mandi area of the capital city killed at least 24 people and wounded more than 115.
In March, at least 11 people, including additional sessions judge Rafaqat Awan, were killed and 29 others wounded during a gun and bomb attack in a court in the capital city’s F-8 area.
Teenager killed in anti-Israeli protests in India-held Kashmir
Teenager killed in anti-Israeli protests in India-held Kashmir
SRINAGAR: Police say a teenage boy was killed when government forces in Indian-controlled Kashmir fired on protesters rallying against Israel's invasion of Gaza.
The boy, a ninth-class student, was killed in the village of Khudwani, 60 kilometres (40 miles) south of Srinagar, the main city of the disputed Muslim-majority region of Kashmir.
The Indian police officer said the Kashmri youngster, identified as Suhail Ahmad Lone, was believed to be around 14 or 15.
“The boy died in (police) firing on anti-Israel protesters who were also angry about injuries suffered by other protesters during earlier demonstrations,” a senior police officer told AFP.
A police statement called the killing “unfortunate”.
The youngster's death marked the first fatality in a string of demonstrations across the Himalayan territory that have been staged against the Israeli military campaign.
More protests erupted following the boy's death and spread to at least two nearby towns where police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
Kashmir has witnessed massive pro-Palestinian protests almost every day since Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza. Protesters have burned Israeli flags and clashed with government forces at several places in the region.
The protests have been occurring on an almost daily basis in the Kashmir valley which has been at the centre of a quarter-century revolt against Indian rule.
The demonstrators, some holding placards with “Save Gaza” written on them, chanted “Down with Israel”, “Down with America” and hurled stones at government forces.
Indian government forces are seeking to prevent the protests from spreading in the volatile region.
About a dozen rebel groups have been fighting Indian forces since 1989 for independence or merger of Kashmir with Pakistan, which also claims the territory.
The fighting, and India's tense relations with nuclear-armed rival Pakistan, have made Kashmir one of the most militarised zones in the world and has left tens of thousands, mostly civilians dead – AP/AFP

SBP leaves policy rate unchanged at 10 per cent
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's central bank decided to leave its key policy rate unchanged at 10 per cent for the subsequent two months, the State Bank of Pakistan said in a statement on Saturday.
In recent months the rupee has remained stable as Pakistan has rebuilt its foreign exchange reserves following the successful sale of a $2 billion Eurobond, an auction of 3G and 4G phone licences, and an injection of cash from bilateral and multilateral lenders.
