The violence claimed at least 133 lives and injured 186 others, in total.
In a statement issued today, the commissioner said: "Tribal elders from both sides have agreed on an indefinite ceasefire," adding that the parties have expressed resolved to "sit together" to establish lasting peace in the region.

KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur hailed the peace efforts of the grand jirga and met the members of the body, said adviser to KP Chief Minister on Information Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif quoting the provincial chief executive.
''Over 100 people from both sides attended the jirga,'' he said, adding that it was decided that firing posts would be vacated until the final decision of the jirga.
