According to the police and hospital sources, the firing between the tribes in Kurram district continues for the eleventh day. Seven more people had lost their lives in clashes on Friday, according to officials. With the cooperation of police forces and elders, most of the clashes have been stopped while the armed tribes have been removed from the fronts with police and armed forces being deployed there. Separately District administration official Wajid Hussain told that 133 people had been killed in the attacks in the last week and a half. “The district administration and other relevant authorities have initiated efforts to stop fighting between the two communities but there is no breakthrough yet,” he said. Efforts are being made to stop the clashes between Muqbal Kunj Alizai in Kurram District on November 21 in the Ucht Mandori area of Lower Kurram.

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.
