Khadokhel gets tehsil status in Buner DAGGAR: NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti has approved formation of Khadokhel tehsil in Buner district.
The
new tehsil, with a population of 103,412 will consist of four union councils and nine Patwar Halqas, with Totalai as its ‘Kanungo’
Circle.
The decision to this effect was taken on the request of Minister for Elementary and Secondary Education
Sardar Hussain Babak, who had proposed the creation of a new tehsil in the militancy-affected Buner to help the local people.
Meanwhile, elders called off the protest, which had been started to demand tehsil status for the area. The area residents
celebrated the government notification and shared sweets. They also chanted slogans in favour of the Khadokhel Action Committee,
besides the chief minister and provincial minister for fulfilling their longstanding demand.
