Several people were seriously injured, after which a series of clashes started in the areas of Alizai Bagan, Balsh Khel Khar, Piwar Teri Mangal and Muqbal Kunj Alizai. Social leader Mir Afzal Khan said that “after the firing incident on October 12th, Peshawar-Parachinar main highway was closed, and during 50 days, there was barely 10 days of traffic on the main highway.” As a result, millions of residents of Parachinar have been trapped and the citizens are facing serious problems due to the lack of food, oil and medicines and businesses have closed down in the city.
