Earlier, political administration had made an appeal to Baka Khel and Jani Khel tribes to hand over militants present in their areas. However, a jirga called for this purpose had been failed because both tribes refused to hand over miscreants’ to the government.

On the other hand, tribes said that in case of operation, they will terminate the peace deal and government would be responsible for the situation.
