Peshawar police have decided to ban private jirgas across the city following a firing incident at a jirga held at a private hotel.

Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Mian Saeed said private jirgas would not be tolerated under any circumstances. He warned that action would be taken against those organising jirgas at hotels and wedding halls, and the premises concerned would also be sealed.
