The source said: “It has been a hectic day for the security men in the State since early morning of Friday but thank God, we’re winning the battle.

“Those criminals are ever ready but we’re winning. Honestly, many of them were neutralised and others arrested but I can’t tell you the actual figure. I think the PPRO will have to do that.

“The joint team has vowed that nobody will rest until those criminals who have dealt with our men, innocent citizens and destroying uncountable property in this State are totally eliminated.” (Nation)
