| Political authorities have arrested around 39 people in connection with MondayÂ’s remote-controlled blast that left three people injured. Most of the arrested people are Afghan refugees who were arrested under the Frontier Crimes Regulations and sent to prison. The political administration also warned that it would take strict action against those wearing masks or displaying arms in public. Nawagai Assistant Political Agent (APA) Mohammad Jamil told journalists that political authorities had banned the wearing of masks and displaying of arms in public in the peace accord. He said that two days ago, however, some armed masked men made announcements through loudspeakers mounted on their vehicles, which directly violated the accord. He said new check posts had been setup in the Umarai, Inayat Qila and Tangay areas. |
