KABUL: The Khasadar Force recovered narcotics from a truck coming from Afghanistan here on Sunday. Officials said that 47 kilograms of charas and 25 kilograms of opium were recovered from the secret cavities of the truck. The driver of the truck, Yar Mohammad, was arrested and the vehicle was impounded.
The seizure is the second of its type in about three weeks as Khasadar and Levies personnel intercepted a truck at Charwazgai few days ago with narcotics concealed in its secret cavities.
The demands were made during the oath taking ceremony of the new cabinet of KU held in Bar Qambarkhel area of Bara on Sunday. The ceremony was attended by a large number of KU activists and local elders.
Speaking on the occasion KU candidate for NA-46 (Bara) Hameedullah Jan Afridi said that a selected group of Fata parliamentarians and leaders of some political parties were struggling for merger of Fata with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while ignoring the genuine problems of tribal people.
He said that thousands of families were living without any proper shelter after returning to their homes as government failed to conduct timely survey of their damaged houses and provision of compensation to them. Rejecting the proposed merger of Fata with KP, Mr Afridi said that a status of separate province would bring more benefits for the tribal people.
