Peshawar (Web Desk/Agencies): The district administration has ramped up its efforts to dismantle illegal bunkers in Kurram as part of the ongoing peace process under the Kohat agreement.
According to authorities, a total of 988 structures have been demolished so far, with 635 bunkers removed in Upper Kurram and 353 in Lower Kurram.
The operation, which is part of broader efforts to restore peace in the region, targets illegal fortifications that have contributed to the prolonged conflict.
“The demolition process is progressing rapidly, and we will continue until all unauthorized bunkers are removed,” a spokesperson for the district administration stated.
