Peshawar unrest: Afghans seen as main source of trouble
2013-01-03
[Dawn] In light of the frequent acts of terrorism, especially suicide kabooms, in Qissa Khwani Bazaar and adjoining streets, Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
coppers manning the old city areas consider Afghan nationals the main problem for them, saying these foreigners move from one place to another very easily but leave no trace.

They are firmly of the opinion that an operation should be carried out in the area from GT Road to City Circular Road without delay to register tenants and catch rogue elements.

During a visit by Dawn to these areas on Tuesday, police officials expressed ignorance about directives from their bosses about registration of tenants in rented buildings. They also said they had no record of the occupants of these structures.

Police have time and again claimed to launch a campaign for registration of all tenants in the city and force property dealers to avoid provision of rented buildings without proper permission from the local police.

Also, they had reportedly decided that only families would be allowed to get houses in the residential population. However,

in the main city areas, police have no record of tenants. The people can easily get a building on rent with police knowing nothing about them.

"The only solution to overcome the increasing terrorist acts is to carry out a thorough and concentrated operation and register tenants," police officials said, suggesting that Afghan nationals be stopped from entering the city and renting houses.The cop shoppes located inside the city have no record about the people living in the rented houses, plazas and flats.

They said police had to beef up security only during Muharram to avert any eventuality, adding that police had to visit different hotels, plazas to check the suspected people on temporary basis.

According to the officials, 18 kabooms have taken place in the city areas including Qissa Khwani but till now it could not be ascertained as to who facilitated the jacket wallahs and how accurately they stroke their targets.
