By Vijeshwar Devasthan Trust
Vijeshwar Devasthan Trust
The image shows an old Vijeshwar Temple, historically known as Vijayeshwara structure that appears neglected—there’s visible damage to the upper portion, vegetation growing out of the walls, and the surrounding area looks unmaintained.

By Fatima Baloch
Every military operation and war generally has certain strategic objectives. However, just like the 1965 war and the Kargil conflict, Pakistan’s military operations often lack clear strategic objectives during wartime. This frequently leads to failure, heavy military casualties, and embarrassment, and Pakistan continues this legacy both in external wars and in internal military operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out an attack in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2026, in which seni... |
