Militancy has become a major security issue for Pakistan. More than 40 thousand Pakistani citizens have been killed by the terrorist gangs. Militants have targeted state institutions and challenged the writ of the government. The rise of militancy and extremist tendencies has strong roots in both recent and past history of the country.

Secondly, the impact of militancy on economic aspect of the society is also investigated. The economic factors include the level of income and livelihood of the local people.
