Pakistan(National Times)- KURRAM: The death toll in District Kurram has reached 133 after two more people who got injured in the clashes earlier died on Tuesday, sources told Geo News. Whereas, the local administration of the restive district claimed that the law and order situation was gradually improving as the ceasefire entered its third day today. No skirmish or firing took place between tribes in any area, said Kurram Deputy Commissioner Javedullah Mehsud, adding educational activities in institutions were going on and bazaars and shops were open as usual. However, citizens complained of facing trouble for scarcity of different commodities, including food items, medicines and fuel, due to closure of Parachinar-Peshawar highway. Meanwhile, Kurram Traders President Haji Imdad said Pak-Afghan trade was suspended because of Afghan border Kharlachi’s closure. Amid the government’s efforts to ease tensions in Kurram district, a ceasefire was finally reached between two warring tribes, the deputy commissioner had confirmed on December 1. “Armed tribesmen were removed from the firing posts while police and forces have been deployed [in the region],” the DC had said in a statement without divulging details. The latest spell of violence, which continued for multiple days, has claimed at least over a hundred lives and injured 186 others. The recent episode of clashes began with ambushes on two separate convoys travelling under police escort, resulting in 52 deaths on November 21. Since then, violence between the feuding communitites has escalated, with police struggling to maintain the law and order situation.
