Around eleven people including seven non-local Taliban were killed and thirteen injured during the ongoing sectarian clashes in Kurram Agency with fighting continuing for twelve consecutive days.According to details, the curfew imposed in Parachinar after Nov 16 last year has not been relaxed resulting in locals facing problems.
The main highway of Tull and Parachinar has remained closed for the last 48 days due to which food and medicine are in short supply in Kurram Agency and road links between tribes have been disconnected.
Sources said that clashes since November 16 had killed more than 300 people and injured more than 600. They said hundreds had been displaced and losses had amounted to millions of rupees. Attempts are being made for a ceasefire between Hangu and Orakzai tribes by a visiting jirga, however, the tribes have expressed their dissatisfaction over government measures.
