Jirga bans CDs, narcotics, in Mohmand Agency
 GHALANAI: A 60-member Halimzai tribe jirga on Monday banned the sale of narcotics and obscene CDs in Mohmand Agency, and gave shopkeepers a week to change their businesses or face action. A jirga member, Mohammad Ali Halimzai, told Daily Times that they had set a one-week deadline for those selling obscene CDs, heroin, alcohol and other narcotics in the agency. He said the jirga would take action through a Qaumi Lashkar against the violators of the ban. He said the shop owners, if found guilty, would be fined and their shops and houses would be demolished. Another jirga member said such measures would protect tribal youngsters from immoral activities. Posted by: Fred 2007-09-18 |
