The official said all the trucks were loaded with relief items and were being taken to Parachinar.
Taking serious notice of the incident, the APA said the political administration arrested 46 tribesmen and demolished their six houses and four shops in Sadda market. He said curfew had been enforced in Sadda sub-division banning all kinds of movement.
The official said the perks and privileges of the Class-IV employees had been withheld till an indefinite period. He said the military's gunship helicopters also shelled some of the suspected places in Durrani village but caused no casualties.
