A joint operation conducted by the district administration, police, and security agencies in Bagan from January 19 to 21 led to the recovery of a large quantity of illegal weapons, according to security sources cited by ARY News.
The operation, carried out with the support of local elders and residents, has been hailed as a significant step toward restoring peace and removing criminal elements from the region.
Following the operation, a supply convoy is scheduled to depart for Para Chinar today, marking ongoing efforts to stabilize the area. Security forces reiterated their commitment to taking firm action against wrongdoers to maintain the fragile peace.
As part of the peace initiative, security forces had previously secured Bagan Bazaar in Kurram. Several bunkers belonging to the Watezai and Tori tribes in Irfani Kalay were cleared during the operation.
A search operation is underway to apprehend those responsible for recent attacks on convoys and prevent further disturbances. Deputy Commissioner of Kurram, Javedullah Mehsud, had earlier announced major operations in four areas to eliminate terrorist threats and relocate displaced persons to Tal and Hangu for their safety.
These developments follow a period of renewed violence in the region, shortly after a peace agreement was reached between warring tribes. The unrest included a shooting incident in which DC Kurram was injured, underscoring the difficulties in achieving stability in the area.
