"All these 11 people were active against government in Mardian district over the past couple of years and with joining them to their community the security would be stabilized in Mardian and adjoining areas," Turkistan said in his welcoming remarks to welcome the former militants.
The official also called upon other militants to follow the step and help stabilize peace and security in the country.
All the 11 former insurgents also handed over their weapons to police, the official added.
