As a result of effective engagements, 29 terrorists have been successfully neutralised by the security forces in past one month,”the military’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement as quoted by Dawn News.
The move was made to curb the infiltration of terrorists targeting both security forces and civilians.
