Bara operation 'uncovers heads'
Following the successful implementation of security operation Seerat-e-Mustaqeem, residents of Bara are once again free to leave their heads bare.
Lashkar-e-Islam chief Mangal Bagh, prior to the operation, had strictly enforced the wearing of caps and offering of prayers.
In fact, several mujahids used to police the region and ensure that people in the Bara market were offering their prayers and wearing caps.
A Bara resident who studies at the University of Peshawar said that he used to travel with a cap in his pocket and would put it on whenever he crossed the border into Bara from Peshawar to appease Baghs men.
