Rising Terrorism in Tribal Districts Becoming a Threat to the Future of Youth, Says Rahmatullah Mamund
Anwar Zada Gulyar
Bajaur: Social activist Rahmatullah Mamund from the tribal district of Bajaur has said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly the tribal districts, has once again fallen into the grip of violence, fear, and terrorism, leaving the younger generation under severe psychological stress, insecurity, and hopelessness.
In a statement, Rahmatullah Mamund said that daily incidents of bomb blasts, target killings, suicide attacks, and shootings in Bajaur, Bannu, Lakki Marwat, North Waziristan, and other areas have made life miserable for the people. He said that several precious lives were lost in recent terrorist incidents, including the targeted killing of renowned religious scholar Maulana Muhammad Idris and a suicide attack on police in Bannu, where nearly 15 people were killed.
Rahmatullah Mamund stated that these recent incidents have created an atmosphere of fear and panic among the public, especially the youth. According to him, students attending educational institutions are feeling unsafe, while unemployment and uncertainty are pushing young people toward mental stress and despair. He expressed concern that such conditions could make some youth easy targets for extremist propaganda.
He further said that women are also suffering from the negative impacts of terrorism, as fear and insecurity are affecting their education, employment, and social activities. According to him, the worsening law and order situation has exposed many families to psychological problems and social hardships.
The social activist said that terrorism is no longer confined to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone, but its effects are spreading to other parts of the country as well. He urged the government to take effective and indiscriminate action against terrorists and their facilitators, and to ensure practical measures for providing youth with education, employment opportunities, and a peaceful environment.
Rahmatullah Mamund warned that if the situation is not brought under control immediately, its negative consequences will continue to affect future generations and could push the country toward further instability.

Most Wanted Cocaine Dealer Arrested in Major Intelligence Led Operation
Sabahat Sarwar
Karachi: In a major breakthrough against organized narcotics networks, City Police in coordination with a civil intelligence agency conducted an intelligence-based operation and arrested Karachi’s highly wanted cocaine dealer Anmol alias Pinky.
According to officials, the accused was found in possession of a pistol, cocaine worth millions of rupees, chemicals and other narcotics during the raid. Police sources revealed that Anmol alias Pinky had been absconding in more than a dozen criminal cases and was wanted by law enforcement agencies for the past ten years.
Investigators stated that the accused had been operating a well-organized and extensive drug trafficking network across Karachi. She allegedly supplied cocaine in upscale localities including Clifton and DHA through online ride-hailing services in an attempt to avoid detection by law enforcement agencies. Further investigations disclosed that the suspect used female couriers to make the network more secure and difficult to trace, while modern and covert methods were adopted for narcotics distribution throughout the city.
However, controversy emerged after the accused was produced before the court without handcuffs. Videos circulating on social media showed Pinky walking ahead during the court appearance while the investigating officer followed behind and was even seen guiding her through the premises.
Meanwhile, IG Sindh Javed Alam Odho had taken serious notice of the apparent violation of SOPs and prison rules during the suspect’s court appearance. The IG Sindh directed Additional IG Karachi to submit a detailed preliminary report and ordered the immediate suspension of the concerned investigating officer and staff allegedly responsible for negligence and misconduct, He also ordered the formation of a high-level inquiry committee comprising senior officers to ensure a transparent investigation into the matter.
Police had sought a 14-day physical remand of the accused, but the court rejected the request and remanded her to judicial custody instead. The court also directed the investigating officer to submit the challan within fourteen days.
