DARA ADAMKHEL: A leader of the Tor Jhandi Movement, a movement opposed to the merger of erstwhile FATA, was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Dara Adamkhel near Kohat on Saturday.
The murder of Badam Gul, the head of the Tor Jhandi Movement, sparked tensions in Darra Adam Khel.
The security personnel have been deployed at checkpoints to maintain law and order.
The Tor Jhandi movement has been protesting on the roadside for the past two years against the 2018 Fata merger.
The movement also aims to ensure justice and rights for tribes in coal mines.
The movement’s major demand is the withdrawal of the government’s decision to merge FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and grant autonomous status to the tribal areas.
