like lava from a volcano again in the restive region days after a peace deal was finally struck between the warring tribes. The deputy commissioner, who had been playing a key role in efforts to restore peace in the region, was rushed to hospital.
The incident comes as the authorities geared up for sending an aid convoy to Parachinar following the signing of peace accord on January 1, which saw the groups involved in the conflict agree to end violence and surrender arms to the authorities.
The first convoy carrying essential items was set to pass through the Tal-Parachinar road today as the key thoroughfare reopened after three months, marking a significant milestone in restoring connectivity to the crisis-hit region.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Secretary Nadeem Aslam Chaudhry had said that the peace committees were responsible for ensuring the protection of the convoy and adherence to the agreements in place. These committees, comprising local residents, tribal elders, and politicians representing all sects and communities, are tasked with maintaining harmony in the area, he had said.
