Bannu tribes to help troops during operation
BANNU: The Bannu tribal elders on Tuesday agreed to help the government in flushing out the Taliban from the area.
Around 150 notables from the Sardikhel, Takhtikhel and Narmikhel tribes attended a jirga at the commissioner’s house.
“Talks between the political administration and local tribesmen have succeeded,” said Bannu District Coordination Officer Kamran Zeb Khan.
A 12-member committee headed by Bakakhel chief Malik Ayub has also been formed.
The jirga said they would help the government set up checkposts in their area. The jirga demanded that the government release 100 Bakakhel tribesmen arrested under the Frontier Crimes Regulation, open their sealed markets and release their impounded vehicles.
