DADU: A jirga presided over by Noohani clan chieftain Sardar Hakim Ali Noohani in the Dadu district council hall on Tuesday settled a six-month-old murder dispute between the Solangi and Mallah clans.

The two sides pleaded their respective cases over the murder of Akbar Solangi, who was allegedly shot dead during a clash between them over a quarrel involving their children.

Pronouncing his ruling, Sardar Noohani ordered Rafique Mallah and other members of his community nominated by the rival side as his accomplices to pay a fin/compensation of Rs2.8 million to the bereaved family within the next six months.
