SUKKUR, Dec 29: Two men were killed and 10 were injured in an armed clash between Jagirani and Chachar tribesmen in Kutcho Bindi area, Ghotki district on Sunday.

Ather Jagirani and Farid Chachar were killed when the Jagiranis attacked the Chachars.

The Chachars also retaliated and the gun battle continued for two hours.

As a result ten people — Nooral, Mengal, Kashmir, and two others of Jagirani tribe and five of Chachar tribe — were injured.

The clash has created panic in the area and the police have failed to control the situation.

Six men of both the groups were killed in firing and dozens were injured last week, but no arrest was made.
