The ongoing military operation ‘Raddul-Fasaad’, launched in February 2017 year, has not only led to peace and stability but also greatly helped Pakistan in mainstreaming erstwhile FATA on western border by merging it with Khyber Pakhtunkhewa.
Apart from these milestones of Raddul Fassad, it also paved way for opening of Kartarpur corridor on eastern border which country’s leading defence analysts believed is a remarkable tactical move with strategic implications.
These dividends have been achieved in a short span of one year making Pakistan an ideal destination for investment with the aim to accelerate process of socio-economic development in the country, the ultimate objective of the ongoing military operation.
Background discussions with security officials and defence analysts suggest that the merger of erstwhile FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhewa was a most critical phase of the operation because the hostile intelligence agencies were hell bent to sabotage the process.
