PESHAWAR: Army Chief Gen Raheel Sharif and Air Chief Marshal Tahir Rafique Butt visited North Waziristan on Thursday and reviewed the operational plan in the tribal area.

ISPR Director General Maj Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa said in a tweet message that the army and air chiefs were briefed on the progress of current and future operational plans in the conflict-stricken tribal region. They also met troops.

The army chief was briefed on the progress of the Zarb-i-Azb military operation launched in June last year.

He praised the efficacy with which the troops chased militants.

Terrorists would be chased and hit and they would not find any place to hide, Maj Gen Bajwa said.

Gen Raheel reiterated the army’s commitment to eliminating all terrorists, ridding the country of all types of terrorism and taking the operation to its logical conclusion.
