Five years after being launched, Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad – Pakistan Army’s sweeping campaign against terrorism – has resulted in the elimination of the menace as it cleansed internal and external elements responsible for creating anarchy in the country.
Launched on February 22, 2017, the intensive nationwide operation against terror groups, steered by Army Chief General Bajwa, has successfully thwarted hundreds of terrorist plots across the country.
The operation involved area clearance through Kinetic Operations and development projects for the socio-economic uplift of the people.
