Governor Expresses Concern Over ‘No-Go Areas’ in KP from Dera Ismail Khan to Kohat” 2024

In a recent statement, the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) expressed serious concerns about the growing emergence of ‘no-go areas’ between Dera Ismail Khan (DIK) and Kohat. These developments have raised alarm about the deteriorating security situation in the region, making it increasingly difficult for civilians to move freely and access essential services.

The governor lamented the resurgence of militancy and lawlessness, emphasizing the urgent need for law enforcement agencies to take decisive action to reclaim these areas. Despite ongoing military operations and efforts to improve the security environment, these regions have witnessed a rise in criminal activities, armed groups, and the presence of extremist elements, creating significant challenges for the local population.

The government has vowed to strengthen its counter-terrorism operations and collaborate with local communities to regain control over these territories. However, the issue of ‘no-go areas’ continues to be a thorn in KP’s side, underscoring the need for a comprehensive approach to tackle the underlying factors contributing to insecurity and unrest.
