Local clerics in the Tirah Valley in Khyber district have issued a new set of restrictions for tourists. The new set of rules include a prohibition on taking photographs and videos in the area, Samaa has reported. In addition, tourists will not be allowed to hold any musical progamme in Tirah Valley and will not be allowed to carry a music system.
These rules have been issued by clerics belonging to the Afridi Tribe.
“If any harm comes [to people] in case of any violation, you will be responsible for it,” the letter issued by the clerics state.
As per Samaa, “Journalists in the area said that the letter was not fake, but the clerics do not own it because they want to avoid legal action.”
Waseem Riaz, the district police officer, told Samaa that he had called the clerics to the police station but they all distanced themselves from the directives.
Earlier, a case was filed against the people who organised a music and dance event in Hunza’s Gojal for spreading obscenity.
