Residents said that more government soldiers with several battle wagons started military movement in the west parts of the town on Friday evening until early on Saturday morning.
Reports say that the government soldiers left from Janta Kundishe Mountain in out of the town pouring into the town and adding that they are patrolling through the streets.
People in the region expressed fears about the government soldiers' activities as business centers and the use of the traffic halted when the soldiers started walking through roads in the town.
It is unclear the reason of the soldiers military movements and there are no operations that the soldiers conducted in neighborhoods of the town so far.
