QUETTA: The Inspector General of Frontier Corps, Balochistan (South Region), Maj Gen Saeed Ahmed Nagra, has vowed to purge the province of terrorism.

The country’s armed forces would not allow a small group of terrorists to spoil the law and order situation, he said while pledging to take decisive action against terrorist activities.

Gen Nagra, who narrowly escaped an attack in Washuk on Oct 25, was addressing the passing-out parade of the 62nd batch of the Frontier Corps Khuzdar on Saturday.

Around 700 recruits after completing their training joined the FC during the ceremony. Sector Commander of FC West Brig Saqib Mirza, Commandant of Kalat Scouts Col Arshad Mehmood, Khuzdar Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Ilyas, tribal leaders and families of the recruits witnessed the parade.
