Pakistan Institute of Policy Sciences that reports a surge in attacks in Balochistan and K-P

KARACHI: Contrary to the government’s claims with regard to improvement in the country’s law and order situation there is the report recently launched by the Pakistan Institute of Policy Sciences that reports a surge in attacks in Balochistan and K-P during the months of February and March of the ongoing year.

The report also raises questions about the counter-attack and counter-insurgency strategies of the paramilitary forces that claim to have brought significant improvement in the situation in the northwestern regions of Pakistan.
