TALOQAN (PAN): Though there is no imminent security threat from Taliban, heavy presence of armed groups and drugs smugglers in some districts of the Northern Province are some of the challenges being confronted by the locals, officials said.
They said anti-state and social elements had been operating in Dasht-i-Qala, Yangi Qala, Darqad, Khwaja Bahaudin, Khwaja Ghar and Rustaq districts of the province.
