Speaking at a press conference held at Peshawar Press Club, Maulana Shahnawaz, a prominent Sunni cleric from Central Kurram, along with other local elders, stressed the urgent need to secure all areas of the district from militant activity and lawlessness.
“We demand that the federal and provincial governments take immediate measures to restore normalcy in Central Kurram,” Maulana Shahnawaz said. “The ongoing unrest has caused immense damage to lives, homes, and businesses. Families who have lost loved ones and properties in recent operations must be provided comprehensive relief and rehabilitation packages.”
The leaders also highlighted the plight of displaced residents from regions affected by suspicious movements and insecurity. They urged authorities to allow these individuals to return safely to their communities once conditions are stabilized.
A key concern raised during the conference was the issue of registration for government aid. Many victims have been unable to access support due to incomplete records or missing village names in NADRA’s dual-address system. “It is unfortunate that so many affected families remain deprived of assistance due to administrative hurdles,” Maulana Shahnawaz said. “Authorities must correct these records immediately to ensure all eligible residents receive aid.”
