| Mohmand Agency terror-free: administrator |
| 2006-01-29 |
| The political authorities of Mohmand Agency said on Saturday there were no terrorists in the agency and the law and order situation in the area was satisfactory. Talking to reporters at the Mohmand Press Club in Ghalanai, Dr Jamal Nasir, the administrative chief of the tribal territory, said the Mohmand tribe had successfully kept foreigners away, which resulted in swift completion of development projects in the area. Meanwhile, trade between the Mohmand Agency and the Afghan city of Jalalabad came to a halt after a row between two sub-tribes, Kodakhel and Haleemzai, of the agency over transport control. The Haleemzai tribe has been controlling the majority of trade with Jalalabad. The Kodakhel tribe reportedly hampered trade with the neighbouring country on the plea that they should have an equal share in trade. They want their vehicles to be used to transport goods. |
