The grand jirga aimed at addressing peace and security concerns in Kurram District resumed today (Saturday) after failing to reach an agreement on Friday due to incomplete member attendance.
While both parties have reached consensus on several issues, a deadlock remains over the demand for surrendering heavy weapons to the government.
A jirga member stated that one party has yet to make a decision on this matter despite multiple consultations with local elders.
Yesterday’s session, held at Kohat Fort under the leadership of Commissioner Kohat Muatasim Billah, included extensive discussions on various issues.
The administration has raised concerns about reopening roads while heavy weapons remain in the region, citing significant risks.
Meanwhile, helicopter services continue to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, to Kurram District.
