      <title>Kurram jirga gives three-day deadline for armed groups to leave</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330402005/kurram-jirga-gives-three-day-deadline-for-armed-groups-to-leave</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Grand Peace Jirga convened in Kurram Agency has issued a three-day deadline for armed groups to vacate the area. The Jirga’s statement warned that failure to comply will leave the nation with no option but to launch a military operation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Jirga demanded that the state provide the police with all necessary resources to effectively counter terrorism. Further demands included granting the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) full powers, ensuring 100% implementation of the National Action Plan, and taking indiscriminate action against terrorists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The statement emphasized the need for a serious state response to terrorism, assuring that the public will fully support such measures. The Jirga also decided to socially boycott individuals identified as facilitating terrorist activities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Jirga was attended by thousands, including MNA Shahid Khattak, Provincial Minister for Agriculture Major Sajjad Barkwal, and leaders from all political parties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Separately, after a prolonged delay, another convoy carrying essential supplies—food, medicine, fruits, vegetables, and other necessities—has departed from Thal for Parachinar in Kurram District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Official sources state that the convoy consists of over 100 vehicles, a figure confirmed by the trade union.&lt;/p&gt;
