The department said that it has dismissed the employees after it established their links with extremists.
NWFP’s Home Department said that it had recommended to the government to remove 29 employees of the education department after a probe confirmed the government employees’ links with militants.

According to sources, all the dismissed government employees belong to Malakand area, where the security forces are engaged in an intense battle against the militants. (ANI)
