 Authorities on Thursday banned the display of weapons in North Waziristan Agency while forming two committees to buy heavy weapons from the tribesmen. A spokesman for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas Secretariat stated that after the ban on the display of firearms in North Waziristan Agency's main bazaars, the political administration had set up two committees to purchase heavy weapons from the tribesmen at market prices. "The public display of weapons in the agency's main bazaars has been banned under a disarmament campaign in the tribal areas. Those violating the ban will be fined and their weapons will be confiscated." he said. |
