Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Friday met Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur ahead of a high committee meeting to address the law and order situation in Kurram district.
Kurram has been dealing with weeks-long clashes that have left at least 130 dead and many others injured or displaced since last month.
During today’s meeting, Naqvi and CM Gandapur discussed ways to establish peace in Kurram, with the home minister offering “all possible cooperation” to the KP government.
Mohsin Naqvi emphasized the importance of enhancing the capabilities of law enforcement agencies in the province and reaffirmed that restoring peace in Kurram was a top priority. He also highlighted the need for a long-term peace strategy that includes consultations with all relevant stakeholders.
Both Naqvi and Gandapur during their talks paid tribute to security personnel who were martyred in the fight against terrorism.
The meeting of the higher committee will be held today, which will be attended by senior civil and military officials, members of the provincial cabinet and representatives of relevant divisional and district administrations.
Key decisions are expected to be taken regarding the supply of essential goods to the people of Kurram and the establishment of lasting peace in the region.
Further, CM Gandapur announced that wheat would be provided to Kurram residents at subsidized rates and directed the food department and district administration to take immediate steps to implement this decision.
