LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): The security situation in southern Helmand province would come under control in four weeks, Governor Hayatullah Hayat said on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference here, he said insurgents’ nefarious designs to overrun the province had been foiled and it would take some time purging Helmand of rebels.
He added security threats to Lashkargah, the provincial capital, had been eliminated and the Taliban's plans frustrated. Hundreds of fresh troops had arrived in Lashkargah and operations would be launched soon . . .
