PESHAWAR:
Efforts by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa authorities to determine peace in Kurram have confronted a short lived setback as one aspect of the jirga requested two days for consultations.
Consequently, proceedings of the jirga have been halted for this length. The provincial authorities’s nominated head of the Kurram jirga, Ok-P Adviser on Info, Barrister Dr Saif, said that one get together within the Kurram dispute sought two days for session, which the jirga members granted after mutual settlement.
He added that the Kurram battle is nearing a peaceable decision, and native leaders in Parachinar will probably be taken into confidence relating to the technique and procedures. The jirga will resume after the two-day break.
Barrister Dr Saif emphasised that jirga members are performing their duties with utmost seriousness and accountability to determine peace. The Ok-P authorities is taking critical steps to resolve this century-old battle. Over the previous ten days of the Grand Jirga, greater than 40 classes have been held, and the federal government is offering all mandatory amenities for the grand jirga.
Earlier, a high civil-military huddle has agreed on decisive actions to revive normalcy within the Kurram tribal district which continues to smolder virtually a month after a lethal ambush on a convoy of passengers’ car reignited unrest within the area.
