Due to the closure of roads and protests by the warring parties, there was a shortage of food and medicine in Kurram Agency, after which emergency relief supplies were sent to Parachinar by a helicopter of the federal cabinet.
The sit-in at Parachinar Press Club continued for several days, during which the Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen also blocked roads at various places in Karachi. Later, after several rounds of negotiations in the Grand Jirga of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and tribal elders, a peace agreement was reached between the parties.
Following the peace agreement, the ongoing protests in various parts of the country, including Karachi, were ended, after which the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has sent relief supplies to Kurram Agency today.
