A clearance operation is underway to restore traffic on the Kotli-Tararkhal Road.

According to reports, the armed groups had erected illegal barricades at Baloch Bazaar, disrupting public transport and completely halting the movement of essential food supplies.

Security forces launched the clearance operation at Baloch Bazaar to remove the roadblocks and restore traffic on the vital Kotli-Tararkhal Road.

The armed groups affiliated with the proscribed Joint Action Committee put up strong resistance during the operation, in blatant violation of state laws.

Eleven security personnel were injured in violent attacks and firing by the armed groups during the clearance operation.

According to analysts, whenever security agencies move to clear supply routes in response to public demand, armed groups affiliated with the banned Joint Action Committee attack security forces and open fire on them.

They said the sacrifices of the injured security personnel reflect the commitment of the country's institutions to restoring peace and maintaining law and order.

Analysts further emphasized that ensuring the protection of citizens' lives and property and clearing all supply routes are both a public demand and an urgent necessity.
