Miscreants destroy two shrines in Landikotal

LANDIKOTAL: Unidentified miscreants blew up two shrines in the far-flung area of Kam Shelman in Landikotal early on Saturday. The shrines of Sheikh Bahadar Baba and Sheikh Mosa Baba, which were reportedly a hundred years old, were blown up with explosive material. Both the shrines were razed to the ground. The local people have demanded that the government provide security to protect the shrines of pious saints in the area. So far, dozens of the shrines have been either been blown up or damaged with explosive material in Landikotal. Local people are of the view that the motive behind blowing up shrines is sectarian in origin. Separately, a shepherd was shot dead and his colleagues sustained bullets injuries in Zakha Khel.
