LARKANA: The threat of several dormant and active tribal clashes hangs like the sword of Damocles over the heads of residents of Larkana division. The gravity of the problem can be gauged from the fact that around 40 primary schools in Larkana district are closed because of the volatile law and order situation created by flaring up of these tribal clashes from time to time, According to official records, currently there are 11 tribal disputes involving at least 22 tribes which are at daggers drawn. Out of these 11 clashes, five are currently ‘inactive’ but may erupt at any given moment of time leading to a whole phase of violence in the area. The most troublesome area for Larkana division police is Kashmore district with five on-going clashes of Jakhrani v/s Bhayo, Sawand v/s Sabzoi, Jakhrani v/s Kandrani, Chachar v/s Bhayo and Sangi v/s Badani tribes. According to the figures available at the office of the Larkana DIG, so far this year 147 people have been killed and 71 have been injured in these tribal feuds. A total of 1,478 tribesmen have been nominated in 151 cases lodged at different police stations across the division. The police have arrested only 112 suspects while the remaining 1,141 are still absconding. Though none of these clashes have been so far dissolved, but five of the ongoing 11 clashes were capped by the division police, said Larkana DIG Jawed Alam Odho while talking to Dawn.
