Innovation - idea: JACOBABAD: A local council (jirga) headed by PPPP-MNA Mir Hazar Khan Bajrani Tahsil Nazim Thull Akbar Banglani and Peer Bharchoondi Mian Abdul Khalique ended a decade-old feud between two rival groups by offering five minors as compensation and slapping Rs one million fine on both warring parties.
we strated struggle against tjis cruel tradition and demonstration was organized.
Innovation - why it is pioneering: Supreme court of pakistan took action on this act and an FIR was lounched against the MNA Tahsil Nazim and and other 513 land lords.about 100 were arested by7 police.this act pioneering because this was the first time in the histry of area that people were demonstrating aginst fuedals.
Strategy - how it achieves impact: when this act was pubilished in news i called a meeting of NGOs and Human rights acvists journalists and make thier barin wash and told about cruel dicision.firstaly they not agreed with me because they were afariad of the feudals.on the next day i called my friends and walk was arraiged from my office to press club after this act a series of demonstration was started and political parties also took action.
Strategy - growth plans: i think civil society and activist will replicate this act
Impact to date: after the taking serius notice of supreme court now the cruel Jirgas are stopped.people are now avoiding to go in jirgas and now they are going to Courts for justice.
Future impact: I think this act will impact in the long future
Sustainability - resource base: it was just an activity which impacts are larger
Major challenge for the field: Fuedals are the major chalange
