AMMAN — Elders and tribal leaders from Petra District on Tuesday signed an honour pact stipulating not to fire gunshots at social occasions.

The pact, signed within the “Don’t Kill Me with Your Happiness” initiative, was launched during a symposium organised by the Petra Police Department in cooperation with the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA).

PDTRA Chief Commissioner Mohammad Nawafleh said festive firing shows the recklessness of the shooter and combating this phenomenon is the responsibility of all components of society, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
