ABBOTTABAD: Around 24 people were reportedly killed and dozens others injured when Madakhel tribesmen on Friday attacked the Chamgah and Dohgah villages in Hazara. Allegedly, the tribesmen used heavy weapons and set Chamgah and Dogah on fire. Frontier Constabulary personnel were called to reinforce the Levies in calming the area. Kala Dhaka Administrator Abdul Latif said the inter-tribal fight took place over the ownership of the burnt villages. "Earlier, both parties had reached an agreement according to Shariah rules and Mera Madakhel was recognised as having a legitimate claim," he said. However, Chamgah and Dogah residents refused to hand over the land upon which Madakhel tribesmen attacked them. |
