They also established”dispute resolution councils” and forced residents to come before them for their concerns.

Four cops are released.
The four policemen who were kidnapped by the Omar Raghazai police station located in South Waziristan Upper were freed, according to police.
District Police officer Arshad Khan revealed to Dawn that the police officers kidnapped named Akbar Khan, Jan Mohammad, Sultan, and Naseeb Khan, were removed from the checkpoint located in the Saratoga Tehsil in South Waziristan Upper between Wednesday and Thursday night.
The official said that the four were rescued safely through the efforts of security forces and tribal elders.
