Karzai
threatens to attack ‘terrorist nests’ in Pak Kabul, June 15 In his toughest stance yet on crushing Pakistan-based
insurgency, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said today that his
country had the right to dismantle “terrorist nests” in
the neighbouring country in “self-defence”. “Afghanistan
has the right to destroy terrorist nests on the other side of
the border in self-defence,” Karzai told a news conference
here. Karzai’s warning is the first open threat to send
troops inside Pakistan, though he has often confronted
Islamabad on its failure to prevent Taliban from finding a
safe haven in the tribal areas.

Flood alert in areas
close to Ravi
Pathankot, June 15
In view of heavy rain lashing the region for the past two days, the
state Irrigation and Drainage Department sounded an alert in various
pockets of this district for low flood in the Ravi this morning. The
flow of water in the river downstream Madhopur headworks reached around
63,000-cusec mark today. The drainage authorities had to open
sluice-gates of the headworks to let river water flow into Pakistan.
“Since the Thein Dam was constructed, water in the Ravi downstream the
Madhopur headworks, which flows into Pakistan, has rarely been released.
It was released about six or seven years ago,” said a senior official
of the department, adding that there was no threat of floods in the
area.
