Tribe of terrorists, known as the Hurs, has been carrying out a reign of terror in the North West Province of Sind, in India. When they swooped down on the Lahore mail train and it was derailed, twenty two people were killed. "Martial Law" was announced and police patrolled streets for followers of the bandit’s leader. Then the military were called in, troop carrying planes and paratroops went into action to find the mountain hideouts of the Hurs. This action resulted in the capture of the raiders.
