GHALANAI, Dec 21: The Qaumi Lashkar razed the house of a tribesman in Kassi village on Friday under the collective responsibility act of FCR. APA Jamshed Khan told Dawn that Sabir Khan’s house in the Kassi area was demolished on the charge of being involved in destruction of a cellular company’s booster. The company had hired the tribesman to guard the booster. Officials of the Levies and Khasadar force, political tehsildar and tribal elders of Haleemzai watched the demolition of the house. Meanwhile, people of the area demanded of the cellular company to immediately repair the booster because thousands of users were facing problems in contacting their relatives.—Correspondent
