Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday ordered the concerned authorities to ensure provision of cash amounts to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) of North Waziristan. <br /> <br />The prime minister has also directed the officials of PM Secretariat to remain in touch with the departments concerned for provision of timely relief to the affected families. <br /> <br />Nearly 100,000 people have left North Waziristan tribal area, on the Afghan border, this week after the military launched a long-awaited assault against Taliban hideouts. <br /> <br />The operation Zarb-e-Azb has triggered a huge exodus of civilians from North Waziristan, both into the cities of Bannu, Peshawar and Kohat and across the border into Afghanistan. <br /> <br />Registration points and camps have been set up to deal with the influx of people in Bannu, but many prefer to travel on to stay with relatives in other areas.
