Frontier Crimes: ‘Reforms in regulations to be implemented soon’
The reforms will be implemented as soon as President Asif Ali Zardari signs the bill.
Khan was talking to a tribal jirga consisting of all political parties from Bajaur Agency, here at Khyber House.
The federal minister said 40-Frontier Crimes Regulations and the Joint Responsibility Act will soon be abolished, according to the aspirations of the people of federally administered tribal areas.
The minister was of the view that a judicial tribunal will also be set up for the dispensation of justice in Fata, adding that the tribunal is equivalent in status to a high court.
It will resolve cases within three months, he said. Some 2,500 vacancies have been created in the Levies in Fata, he added.
