Why Federal Government is so Aloof to Problems of Peshawar Airport which is Always Under Attack from FR ( Semi tribal Area Governed under Article 247 ) of Pakistan constitution that Makes it a Federal territory while it is not situated in FATA but inside the Pakhtunkhwa area but it is Governed from Islamabad FATA Secretariat which Falls Under President of Pakistan under PML-N and its is not under control of Pakhtunkhwa Police and Frontier Corps Either , as its is supposed to be Manned by Frontier Constabulary and which is sent to Islamabad to Protect the Embassies inside Diplomatic Enclave . How a Government Run by Goof both in Military and Political Establishment create a Self made Problem that can be Addressed by Putting Army or FC In These Area to Stop Aerial Firing or Making it Settled Area by a small Amendment so that it can Governed by Pakhtunkhwa Police and Police Stations can be made in 6 FR Areas .

PESHAWAR:
A senior airport official on Saturday shot down media reports of an airliner coming under fire moments before its landing on the Bacha Khan International Airport (BKIA) on Saturday night.
Tahir Sikander, airport manager BKIA, told The Express Tribune that it was not an attack but celebratory firing in Masho Khel and Suliman Khel area on the outskirts of the city, which was mistaken as an attack by local police.
“All our aircraft are safe. It is Saturday night and it is a local tradition to celebrate by means of aerial firing,” he said, adding that such reports in media were spreading rumours.
SSP Operations Najeebur Rehman Bagvi also said that they had contacted the airport authorities and there was no such attack nor any casualty.
Earlier, news broke that a PIA airliner coming from Saudi Arabia had come under attack soon before its landing — no casualty was reported.
Local Badhaber police had reported that the aircraft was attacked from three locations simultaneously which was strongly denied by police high ups and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Meanwhile, ASI Hayatabad Shaukat Kamal was reported dead, while two other people were injured, when unknown miscreants opened fire at the worshippers offering prayers inside a mosque in Bar Kanady, Pir Bala.
Police said that it could be a case of terrorism and the injured had been identified as Saleem and Azizur Rehman.
