MANSEHRA: The boundary dispute between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan was finally settled on Friday.
The joint grand jirga of both Thor (GB) and Harban (KP) tribes was held in Basri Nullah where elders of both the tribes announced to end their enmity and withdraw the cases against each other. The jirga was also attended by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MNA Sarzameen Khan and MPA Abdul Sattar Khan.
The elders of both tribes announced to end enmity, saying henceforth they would live like brothers and foil conspiracies against the Diamer-Bhasha Dam and other mega projects being executed in the region.The jirga decreed that both tribes would withdraw their cases against each other and settle them through local jirgas traditionally.
The dispute, which started almost six years ago between the two tribes over a piece of 4-km land at the boundary between GB and KP, turned ugly in 2014 and claimed four lives from both sides, compelling the federal government to take control of the disputed territory. The Frontier Constabulary was deployed in the area to maintain law and order.
“This is a historic day for both GB and KP as an issue that caused delays in the execution of Diamer-Bhasha Dam has been settled amicably and both sides showed goodwill gestures,” said Sarzameen Khan, the parliamentary secretary for industries.
He said that now there were no hurdles in smooth execution of the 4,500MW Diamer-Bhasha hydroelectric project and other projects in the region.“I appreciate both the tribes who foiled conspiracies being hatched by enemies of the country against CPEC and settled a serious issue and I am optimistic that the same gesture would be followed in future too if any issue arises,” said Sarzameen.
He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was keen to accomplish mega projects being executed through the multibillion CPEC in the entire country and on the KKH in GB and KP.Speaking on the occasion, MPA Abdul Sattar said that whatever was decided in the jirga was in the larger interest of the country and people of both sides would soon witness a new era of development and prosperity in the region.
