DERA MURAD JAMALI: Two men were killed and six others injured in an armed clash between two tribes in Bolan district.

Levies Force officials said that the clash took place in Bala Nari area of Bolan district recently. Armed men of Bangulzai and Shahwani tribes took arms against each other.

They used automatic weapons during the clash. “As a result of firing, two brothers were killed and six other people injured,” the Levies officials said.

The clash was caused by a quarrel between some people belonging to the two tribes when the people of one tribe took their goats for grazing to the area of the other tribe.

Deputy Commissioner of Bolan district Salahuddin Noorzai rushed to the area along with a heavy contingent of Levies personnel and other officials soon after receiving information about the incident.

The bodies and the injured were shifted to a health facility. The injured were later shifted to the divisional hospital in Sibi.

The Levies officials said that two persons were arrested and efforts were being made to arrest other accused. A heavy contingent of security personnel was deployed in the area to avert further clashes.
