The Thall Parachinar Main Road and multiple routes in Kurram district remain closed, resulting in a significant shortage of essential goods in Parachinar city.

Residents are facing dire conditions due to a complete lack of food items, medicines, fuel, and other necessities.

For over 20 days, fresh vegetables have been unavailable, and lentils have also vanished from local markets. Citizens are struggling to find basic supplies such as flour, cooking oil, sugar, petrol, diesel, LPG, firewood, and medications.

According to border officials, the Pak-Afghan Kharlachi border is currently closed to all traffic and trade, exacerbating the crisis.

In a bid to restore peace, a Pashtun national jirga is working to mediate between the conflicting parties in the region. An important meeting is scheduled today at the Kohat Commissioner’s office, where local leaders and members of the official grand jirga will convene.
