In a recent operation, the police in Dera Ismail Khan have successfully apprehended three notorious criminals and seized a substantial amount of illegal drugs, weapons, and ammunition. The arrest took place within the jurisdiction of Cantonment police station.

One of the culprits, Mohammad Irfan, was caught with a 30-bore pistol, ammunition, 315 grams of heroin, and 220 grams of hashish in his possession. This significant haul has dealt a blow to the drug trade in the area.

Additionally, two wanted absconders, Ameerullah alias Ameer and Anwar Khan, both hailing from Tank, were also apprehended during the operation. These individuals were wanted by the authorities in connection with murder and attempted murder cases, highlighting the successful crackdown on criminal activities in the region.

Tragic Incidents Result in Casualties and Injuries

Unfortunately, two separate incidents in Dera Ismail Khan have led to a loss of life and injuries. On the Dera-Bhakkar road, a collision between two motorcycles and a container claimed the life of a 65-year-old man named Khizer Hayat. Additionally, five individuals sustained injuries in the accident and were rushed to the district headquarters hospital for medical treatment.

In another unfortunate incident, a car travelling from Wana to Dera Ismail Khan overturned near Chehkaan area due to the driver losing control of the vehicle. This incident resulted in injuries to two passengers in the car, underscoring the importance of road safety measures.

Empowering Farmers through Agricultural Seminars

To empower local farmers with modern techniques of wheat cultivation, an awareness seminar and field day were organised at Ratta Kulachi Farm. The event, led by Agricultural Research Institute (ARI) in collaboration with Pakistan Agriculture and Research Council (PARC), aimed to educate farmers on enhancing their per-acre yield.

During the seminar, experts emphasised the use of recommended seed varieties and the adoption of mechanical harvesting techniques to maximise crop yield. The significance of integrating modern technology into agriculture practices was also highlighted, showcasing the potential for agricultural growth in the region.

The seminar attracted scientists, agricultural students, and local farmers, creating a platform for knowledge sharing and innovation in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, the inauguration of a ‘dates solar hybrid tunnel’ at Ratta Kulachi Farm signifies a step towards sustainable farming practices, particularly in the ripening and drying process of Dhakki dates.

Overall, these initiatives are instrumental in promoting agricultural development and advancing farming practices in Dera Ismail Khan and beyond.
