Banu (Ghag Report):
In a troubling incident early this morning, a vegetable market trader, Saeed, was abducted by suspected Taliban militants near Narey Bridge, adjacent to Mirakhel police station. Eyewitnesses reported that Saeed was forcibly taken in a white vehicle, which was later seen heading towards the market area.
Following the abduction, laborers from the New Vegetable Market staged a protest, blocking the Bannu-Dera Ismail Khan road. The demonstrators demanded immediate action from authorities to ensure Saeed’s safe recovery and to improve security in the area.
The situation remains tense, with commuters facing significant disruption due to the roadblock. Security forces have yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
