According to the sources, fighter planes bombed the hideouts of militants in the Jabba and Mamozai Sama areas of upper Orakzai Agency, killing 10 militants and injuring another four.

Five hideouts of militants were also destroyed in the airstrike, the sources said. Local sources, however, put the death toll even higher. Meanwhile, prolonged load shedding has adversely affected the performance of the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA)’s kiosk at Malango area in the agency.

Local people have to wait for days in order to get their computerised national identity cards (CNICs) due to the lack of required facilities and unscheduled power outages. They have demanded that the government investigate the performance of the NADRA staff. abdul saboor khan
