Gen Lateef added that 98 per cent of the displaced persons have returned to the area while the remaining 2pc would return before Ramazan.
Speaking in Ghulam Khan Kilay on Friday, North Waziristan General Officer Commanding (GOC) Maj Gen Azhar Abbas told journalists that the whole agency has been cleared of terrorists.
To improve security and prevent cross-border attacks and movement of terrorists, Pakistan has started the installation of CCTV cameras along the Pak-Afghan border, he said. "So far 46 high-resolution cameras have been installed," Gen Abbas informed.
He was talking to a group of journalists taken by the army to North Waziristan to brief them on the security situation in the agency after the opening of the Ghulam Khan route.
Journalists were further briefed about the monitoring centre in Miramshah which would not only monitor the CCTV cameras but also the entry and exit of individuals in the area. National identity cards of every person arriving in the area would be scanned at the checkposts, monitored by the centre.
Gen Abbas further stated that normalcy has returned to the agency, therefore the military has reduced its checkposts to just five from 35.
The GOC informed that soon, the security command in the agency would soon be handed over to FC.
