At the jirga, all elders vowed to help security forces and cooperate with them for the restoration of peace and development of the area. During his address, Brigadier Haider told the jirga he appreciated the tribesmen for eliminating militancy from the locale. He asked for their continued cooperation with security forces until there was complete peace and harmony in the area.
The tribesmen have made great sacrifices for peace – especially the Salarzai tribesmen – by thwarting militant occupation, remarked Haider. He told people to inform security forces if they spot any suspects or suspicious activities in their surroundings.
