These findings were disclosed by the Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS), a think tank based in Islamabad that focuses on conflict and peace-related issues in Pakistan and the broader region, in its "Monthly Security Review of Pakistan."
As per the Pakistani newspaper, the experts suggested that Pakistan needed to abandon its approach of conditioning the promotion of trade activities between the two neighbours with the resolution of security issues because this scheme would prove counterproductive.
About half of the total fatalities or deaths caused by terrorist attacks in 2022 in Pakistan were concentrated among personnel of security forces and law enforcement agencies. Another 234 personnel of security and law enforcement agencies were also injured in the reported terrorist attacks.
