The government, the commissioner said, also lifted the curfew imposed on Gummi, Anka and Bukkuyum local government areas due to resurgence of banditry and kidnapping.
He said that schools, markets and public places recently closed by the government in nine towns due to heightened insecurity in the affected areas have been reopened.
Dosara said that the approval followed the satisfactory reports received on the security situation in those communities.
The government reassured the people of its commitment to protect lives and property.
