A suggestion was made that if a member of the community was involved in robbery, his funeral should be boycotted and he should not be allowed to be buried in his own cemetery.

It was also suggested that there should be a social boycott of the families of those involved in criminal activities, and the same should be done with those involved in drug trafficking.

Jirga spokesperson Mufti Khalid said that the proposals of sub-branches of the Mehsud tribe have come forward, now an authorized committee will review these proposals, it will be seen which of these proposals can be implemented. The points will be brought forward in formal written form.

Explaining the purpose of the Jirga, he said that the people involved in crimes will now be tried to be prevented from committing crimes by the community.
