Gen Bajwa orders inquiry against FC for opening fire on civilians in Parachinar
[DAWN] Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa lamented the firing incident on protesters in Parachinar by Frontier Constabulary personnel last week, which had resulted in the death of four civilians, and said an inquiry has been initiated and that "those responsible shall not be spared".

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations on Friday, Gen Bajwa said that the FC Commandant in Parachinar has already been changed following the firing incident by "FC troops while handling the post-blast mob situation."

"Notwithstanding the irreparable loss, four shaheeds and injured due to the firing have been given separate compensation by the FC," the army chief was quoted as saying.

The military's media wing further said that the government has "now announced compensation for Parachinar victims at par with other such victims elsewhere in the country".
