United States troops are being withdrawn from Jacobabad Airbase after three-year-long stay over there, and reportedly 200 troops have left the base on Sunday, and flown to their native country. The Pakistan government had allowed the United States to use its Lal Shahbaz Air Base, Jacobabad, three-year earlier to initiate the war on terrorism in Afghanistan.
During the period, the US had sent hundreds of troops, flights and ammunition to this airbase to enter Afghanistan.
Though the war on terrorism is continued, and the US forces are still existing and fighting Taleban in Afghanistan, the United States authorities ordered its troops to vacate the airbase, PPI learnt.
However, around 100 troops are remaining at the airbase and waiting to receive signal from their authorities.
It is also observed that fluency of US flights has also been reduced and hardly it can be seen over the Jacobabad's horizon.
In this regard, the local people living close to the airbase have expressed blessedness over the reduction in US troops and flights, saying now they may sleep calmly as the flights' frequent uproar had caused disturbance in their life routine.
