The main highway and the Pak-Afghan border crossing at Kurram Agency have been closed for the past four months, causing immense hardship for residents. Daily life and business activities have come to a standstill in the district.

Public transportation has been suspended for two and a half months, forcing residents to travel on foot. Fuel shortages, coupled with a mobile network outage, have severely disrupted communication.

The district is facing acute shortages of flour and sugar, with prices skyrocketing. A bag of flour now costs 9,500 rupees, while a bag of sugar sells for 11,000 rupees.

Police have reported the arrest of several profiteers and have pledged to take action against those selling goods above the prescribed rates.

Tribal elders, meanwhile, blame the government for failing to implement the Kohat Peace Accord, which they say should have reopened the roads. They are urging the government to take immediate action to resolve the crisis.
