only believed so..But i am living in kpk and i know whether it is under govt or not.hell not even the FATA is out of govt control.
Talibans are only in the mountainous parts and hiding within the pak-afghan border
The impunity with which Taliban operate and dictate in KPK suggests otherwise.
Nearly 4,000 Army soldiers killed in last 12 yrs: Antony
only in the last 12 years..add this to the police death toll..the over all death toll is well above 10k in kashmir insurgency.
or 1 security personnel killed 2 militants
when compared with PA/FC 1 personnel has killed almost 6 militants.
and you know majority of the PA casaulties are due to IED's.if they were not.the death toll would had been no more than 2-3k
For perspective.
These figures are for Indian Army Personnel who have died over 12 years irrespective. India's army is not only involved in Kashmir, as you might not be aware. India has a 15000km border, 3.2million sq km area and 1.2 million Army Personnel. Indian Army is also a huge participant in UN Peacekeeping Operations.
Just for Kashmir insurgency the figure is ~6000 Security Forces martyred over the last 25 years. Since the last 5 years there has been unprecedented decline in casualties. The number of security forces being martyred has been less than three digits.
In 2012, only 17 Security Forces Personnel were martyred which was the lowest figures since 1989.
Number of insurgents in Kashmir at any given time is less than a hundred. The latest border troubles are because Pakistan is trying to infiltrate a larger number of terrorists.
If Pakistan stops smuggling in terrorists, there will be virtually no casualty in Kashmir.

In KPK we have seen massive operations year after year, and an incredulous number of dead Taliban, but somehow after a few months of each operation Pakistani State again ends up losing its writ.
In the last 10 years only in KPK operations more than 5K Pakistani Security Personnel have been killed.
50,000+ Pakistanis have been killed in Taliban-Pakistan operations in the last 10 years which is more than the number of terrorists, civilians and security forces casualties in Kashmir since the last 25 years (when the insurgency started).
