MIRANSHAH (Dunya News) – The political administration has imposed curfew from Miranshah to Datta Khel area of North Waziristan owing to the deteriorating law and order situation in the region.

According to sources, the security forces are patrolling the streets while security has been tightened on all entry/exit points.

Meanwhile, around 700,000 residents of North Waziristan are feared to migrate to safer places if the government decides to launch operation against militant groups in the region.

The administration is considering to set up camps at Indus Highway for locals while several families, fearing military operation, are reportedly migrating to Kohat, Kurram Agency, Bannu, Peshawar, Punjab, Sindh and even Afghanistan.

On the other hand, the government hasn’t officially announced to launch military operation in the conflicted zone.
