DI KHAN:
Wall chalking in favour of the international terror outfit, the so-called Islamic State (IS), also known as Daish, was spotted in DI Khan city on Wednesday and promptly removed by the police.
According to a police official, messages welcoming IS stating ‘Daish Zindabad’ were found inscribed on the wall of a government high school for boys in Mohallah Lagharayan Wala. He added police rushed to the site and removed the slogans upon learning of the graffiti.
“This seems to be the work of someone wanting to make mischief because there is no presence of Daish in DI Khan,” said the policeman.
Graffiti in support of Daish has previously surfaced in Peshawar and Bannu, alarming law-enforcement agencies and locals.
Meanwhile, unidentified people fired rockets on a sugar mill in the city in the early hours of Wednesday. A policeman said four rockets were fired at Miran Sugar Mill around 4am. One fell on a tractor-trolley, damaging it, while another fell on a boiler. Two more fell inside the building of the mill, damaging the walls.
According to the police, an investigation is under way.
