Sir: Australia-based Institute for Economics and Peace index reported Pakistan the fifth country in terms of prevalence of terrorism with a noticeable decline within its borders. According to the report Pakistan had the lowest incidents of terrorism in 2017 since 2006. I offer my sincerest gratitude to the Pakistan Army for launching Operation Zarb-i-Azb in mid-2014 and reducing the number of terrorist incidents. Yet more needs to be done. Our country is not free of the scourge of terrorism yet. KASHIF FIDA Turbat Published in Daily Times, November 18th 2017.
