GHALLANAI: For the first time in Mohmand Agency, Levies forces have been deployed in Khwaizai near the Pak-Afghan border. Baizai Assistant Political Agent Arif Yousafzai told journalists in Ghallanai five new check posts in the area have been handed over to the force. “At least 82 levies personnel have been deployed after peace committee volunteers were asked to vacate the posts,” he added. Yousafzai said all local peace committee check posts in the area have been dismantled and no one will be allowed to collect illegal taxes from locals anymore.
