| Kurram Agency tribesmen to vacate trenches |
| 2008-06-14 |
| The tribesmen of the Pewar Kharoti village of Kurram Agency will vacate trenches and hand them over to the law-enforcement agencies by Sunday, Kurram Agency Political Agent Muhammad Azam Khan said on Friday. Talking to a jirga of Pewar Kharoti tribesmen, the political agent said that the move would end a month-long unrest in the agency. He said that tribesmen should utilise their energies for the establishment of durable peace in the agency. He said that tribesmen were a peace-loving people and that they had rendered sacrifices for Pakistan during the Independence Movement in 1947. The tribesmen should remain vigilant and keep close watch on their surroundings to foil “the nefarious designs of anti-state elements”, he added. |
