Security forces in Kurram district recovered a major cache of illegal weapons during a clearance operation, and a supply convoy will leave for Parachinar on Thursday, officials confirmed.
A joint operation involving the civil administration, police and security agencies was carried out in the Baggan area from January 19 to 21.
Authorities reported that the operation successfully uncovered illegal weapons, marking a crucial step in ensuring lasting peace in the region.
Local elders and residents actively supported the operation by providing critical information, underscoring the community’s role in combating criminal activities. Officials described the collaboration as vital to restoring order and eliminating threats from the area.
According to a recently signed peace agreement, strict measures will be applied against wrongdoers without discrimination.
The district authorities stressed their commitment to maintaining law and order in Kurram.
The operation has also included initiatives such as mosque renovations and a community-led clean-up campaign in Baggan, symbolizing cooperation between residents and authorities.
This growing trust between the local population and Pakistan’s armed forces is seen as a cornerstone for sustained peace.
Officials added that now that the region is stabilizing, the next phase will focus on restoring supply convoys and ensuring public safety.
Operation launched to bring peace to Kurram
Last week, law enforcement personnel launched an operation in Lower Kurram after a high-level meeting of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government decided to take strict action against miscreants in the troubled district.
Peshawar officials said security forces would be present to help police and civil administration in the operation against miscreants. It was claimed that three places in Kurram Bagan, Mandori and Chaperi would be cleared during the operation.
Local people began moving to safer places when authorities imposed a curfew in the Bagan area and mounted a search operation, days after a brutal attack on an aid convoy in which several people were kidnapped and six of them later murdered.
The security forces, assisted by the Kurram police, surrounded four villages in Bagan and took up positions on the main road.
