The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa department of origin announced a three -day curfew for today until August 14 (Thursday) in the midst of an operation against militants in the areas.
At the end of July, the security forces backed by cannon and artillery helicopters launched ‘Operation Sarbakaf’ against terrorists in Lowi Mamund Tehsil and imposed a three -day curfew in the region.
The operation stopped after both parties agreed to a stop until the conflict was completely resolved through dialogue; However, peace conversations between militant commanders and Bajaur Peace Jirga failed.
Today’s statement said the curfew would be imposed from 11 am to 11 am on August 14, to guarantee public security during the anti -terrorism operation.
“A complete curfew will be imposed … in which the movement on roads and houses to leave will be prohibited,” said the statement.
He listed Laghari, Guati, Ghanam Shah, Bad Siya, Kamar, Amanta, Zagai, Gut, Guinde, Gadigal, Niag Kali, Rigi, Daag, Damadola, Sultan Beg, Chautra, Shenkot, Gang, Jeewar, INAM KHORO, CHENGAI, ANGA, SAFRI, SAF Keewar, Keewar Shukro and Bakro as areas in which the curfew would be in force in Bajaur.
Khar Munda Road, Khar Navagi Road, Khar Pusht Salarzai Road and Khar Sadiqabad Inayat Kalay Road were also included as outside touch limits.
“The public is requested to finish their activities before 10:30 am and return to their homes during the curfew; otherwise, they will be at risk of any adversary incident,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the KP’s prime minister advisor on the information lawyer, Mohammad Ali Saif, said in a statement that the curfew was limited only to Bajaur and Miranshah, based on the rumors that he had imposed in KP.
“The rumors of a curfew on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are completely false,” reads the statement. “Life in the province is happening as usual. There is no touch of curb, except specific areas in Bajaur and Miranshah.
“The news of a curfew is political propaganda and an attempt to deceive the public,” Saif said. “The mafia that stuns Rumor wants to spoil the trip of peace and development of the province.”
Saif urged people to avoid listening to rumors and implored that they only pay attention to information from official sources, reiterating that the movement in the province was normal.
“Those who create fear lying on the curfew are enemies of the people,” reads the statement. “Measures will be taken against those who disseminate false information on social networks. KP people know that propaganda will fail.”
Meanwhile, according to Khar’s assistant commissioner, Dr. Sadiq Ali, the people displaced by the operation have been housed in 100 government universities.
“At this time, we have 435 schools. More than 100 private schools are also vacant,” he said Dawn.com. “A form has been issued for the registration of victims, and is also being carried out through NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority).
MPA requires a detention operation
In a speech at the KP Assembly today, the National Party Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) Nisar Baz Khan raised questions about whether the Department of Origin was under the control of the provincial government.
“At midnight, the Department of Provincial Origin ordered that the curfew in all Bajaur be imposed. Is the Department of Origin under the provincial government or not? If so, who imposed this touch of curfew and under what authority?” asked.
“On the one hand, millions of people have no home and are in the streets, without place to hide, and on the other hand, the government is blocking its routes imposing a curfew. If there is no transport agreement, how will people go?”
Nisar said that appeals were made and that Jirgas stopped to stop the operation, but he began anyway.
“Now, it should be clarified if this operation is being carried out with the permission of the principal minister or with the permission of the Prime Minister,” said Nisar. “I clearly say that the Bajaur operation must stop and that the curfew must be raised immediately. Emergency relief must also be provided to internal displaced persons (internally displaced persons).”
