SHO Band Korai, along with respected community elders, played a key role in bringing the two sides to the negotiating table.

Instead, he encouraged citizens to seek assistance from the police and respected community elders so that disputes could be resolved through mutual respect, dialogue, and legal means.

He reaffirmed the commitment of Dera Ismail Khan police to protecting the lives and property of citizens, maintaining law and order, and promoting unity and harmony.
