RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Army dismissed reports of presence of outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) members in Swat, terming it a ‘misunderstanding’. According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), alleged presence of outlawed TTP militants in Swat spread over a few days.

 According to statement, reports of alleged presence of armed members of a banned organisation in Swat are misleading. According to ISPR, some armed men were found in mountains between Swat and Dir.

Apparently, these people are hiding from Afghanistan to resettle in their native areas. Their limited presence and activity in mountains is being closely monitored.

ISPR said that law enforcement agencies have taken necessary steps to protect people of nearby areas.

Statement said that presence of terrorists will not be tolerated at any place, if necessary, they will be dealt with full force.
