SUKKUR: A Jirga, chaired by Mir Abid Khan Sundhrani, was convened in Khairpur to resolve a long-standing feud between the Jaghirani and Solangi clans. The conflict, which had claimed six lives and created widespread fear, was finally ended with the imposition of fines on both sides.
The Jirga, held at the Faisla Committee of Darghah Pir Jo Goth, heard arguments from both clans, represented by Dr. Ibrahim Jatoi and Sardar Muhammad Khan Junejo, respectively. After reviewing the evidence and statements, the Jirga imposed a fine of Rs 9.9 million on the Jaghirani clan for three murders and 12 injuries, and a fine of Rs 12 million on the Solangi clan for three murders and seven injuries.
The Jirga also urged both clans to resolve their registered cases through legal channels with cooperation. In a gesture of reconciliation, the elites of both clans embraced each other, pledging to restore peace to their areas.
SSP Khairpur, Dr Samiullah Soomro, ordered the concerned SHOs to implement security measures during the reconciliation process. The feud, which stemmed from long-standing land disputes, had led to the closure of schools, health units, and major roads in the region.
