At least 34 terrorists were arrested when a major terror attack was foiled by law enforcement agencies in the Punjab province of Pakistan, a statement said on Saturday.

Most of the arrested militants belong to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) group, with three of them categorised as the "most dangerous terrorists", a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) statement said.

The statement said it conducted 415 intelligence-based operations in different districts of the province during this week and arrested 34 terrorists.
