Several bunkers, four each belonging to the Watezai tribe and Tori tribe in Irfani Kalay have been vacated during the operation.

In the light of attacks on convoys and unrest, a search operation has been launched to apprehend the culprits.

On January 18, Deputy Commissioner Kurram Javedullah Mehsud said that a major operation would be launched in four locations of the district to eliminate the terrorists.

He said the displaced persons were being relocated to Tal and Hangu for their safety.

Days after a peace agreement between the warring tribes was finally reached, violence flared up in the restive region once more as Kurram DC sustained injuries in a firing incident.
