He ordered removal of all militants belong to Hakimullah most of them are involved in heinous crimes against government. Mullah Nazir also signed peace agreement with government and had agreed that he would not allowed militants to use his area against government. Last several years his area was calm and peaceful compare to North Waziristan no major attack reported against government forces. His death is big below for peace efforts in the area and revenge attack can make things bad to worse in future.
