      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330451362/over-100-vehicles-trapped-in-tirah-valley-after-heavy-rain-and-snow</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Around 100 vehicles were stranded in different areas of Tirah Valley due to heavy rain, snowfall, and landslides on Friday, prompting large-scale rescue operations.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A special emergency ward has been set up at Hayatabad Medical Complex to provide urgent medical care to the injured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department has directed authorities to remain on high alert, ensuring doctors and paramedical staff are available 24/7.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Emergency, surgery, orthopaedics, and blood bank services have been fully activated, with sufficient medicines, surgical tools, and medical supplies in place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Pakistan Army and local administration are assisting residents evacuating temporarily from Tirah. Twenty people have been rescued and moved to safe locations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Affected individuals are being provided with food, warm shelters, and other necessities, and transportation is being managed without interruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Secretary Relief Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Khan, said about 100 vehicles remain stranded, with 35 people already moved to safety.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rescue teams from Peshawar, Nowshera, Swabi, and Mardan are on site with over 50 personnel, 16 ambulances, and heavy machinery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ten trucks carrying blankets, sweaters, bedding, and other essentials have also been dispatched.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to PDMA, road closures due to snowfall have blocked the Tirah road, and district administrations are conducting rescue operations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rescue 1122 has deployed 15 personnel, recovery vehicles, ambulances, medical supplies, and rescue equipment from Peshawar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DG PDMA has instructed all district administrations to remain alert while monitoring the situation across the province.&lt;/p&gt;
