| Suspected militants on Wednesday distributed pamphlets asking barbers not to shave people’s beards in Lower Dir, sources said. Following the distribution of pamphlets, which also mentioned Rs 3,000 fine for barbers who violate the ‘ban’, barbers in Munda Bazaar have refused to shave beards and have also put up notices at their shops to inform customers. Sources said that the suspected militants had also asked a prayer leader, Maulana Safiullah, to announce the ban on shaving through his mosque’s loudspeaker. |
