KP Govt Steps Up Security and Relief Efforts Amid Kurram Land Dispute Crisis

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has intensified efforts to restore peace and provide relief in Kurram district, where land disputes have claimed 189 lives since October last year.

During a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, officials revealed that the violence has triggered severe food and medicine shortages due to prolonged road blockades. Despite a peace agreement signed on January 1, the region remains tense, with an attack on January 4 injuring Kurram’s deputy commissioner.

To alleviate the crisis, the government has dispatched nine convoys carrying essential goods to the area, with the first reaching Parachinar on January 8. Additionally, helicopter services have transported 4,000 individuals across 153 flights, while 19,000 kilograms of medicines have been delivered.

Security measures are also being bolstered, with plans to establish 120 security posts and recruit 407 personnel equipped with resources worth Rs764 million. Furthermore, Rs480 million has been allocated to rebuild the Bagan Bazaar, which was destroyed in the unrest.

The cabinet has set a March 23 deadline for the demolition of illegal bunkers and remains committed to restoring peace and normalcy to the region.
