Other demands like submitting FIR, monthly ration for the victim’s family, admission of children at Army public school, and the transfer of Shafiq’s son from Naran to Landikotal were also accepted.
A young son of Shafiq Afridi is on duty with the Security force (FC) in the Naran Valley. The locals have confirmed.
Sources said that after his transfer, he would perform his services near his home at Tatara range where security forces used to arrange shooting or firing range exercises.
Talking to this scribe, Israr Khan Shinwari, the president of Tanzeem Nawjawana-e-Qabail told that after the Sado Khel blast occurred some three days ago and the relatives buried the five martyred persons, they launched a protest demo on Peshawar Torkham highway demanding justice for the blast victims.

According to Shafiq Afridi, his children had brought some unexposed mortar shells which exploded and killed his children and wife.
