The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Apex Committee on Friday decided to dismantle all private bunkers in the Kurram district as part of efforts to restore peace in the region.
The significant decision was made during the high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and attended by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, the Peshawar Corps Commander, the provincial chief secretary, the inspector general, and key cabinet members.
Tribal clashes have killed more than 200 people since July, with various truces announced since the latest round of fighting began, as elders from the two sides negotiate a lasting agreement.
In the meantime, the government has shut down key roads in and out of the district in an attempt to quell the violence, after a security convoy escorting residents was attacked in November, leaving more than 40 dead.
