Army to stay in S Waziristan: Peshawar Corps Commander

Corps Commander Peshawar Yasin Malik said on Saturday that the army will stay in South Waziristan until locals strengthen their grip in the area.

Talking to the media in Dera Ismail Khan, Yasin Malik advised internally displaced people to take charge of the security in their areas once they return home. He said the army will ensure that militants do not return to South Waziristan.

The Peshawar Corps Commander said IDPs will return to their homes in three phases. The registration process for their return is underway in DI Khan.

Malik also paid a visit to the IDP camps to check arrangements and meet the displaced persons.
