Following days of deadly clashes that claimed at least 133 lives, rival tribes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district have finally agreed to an “indefinite ceasefire”, the Kohat Region Commissioner confirmed on Friday. 

The development came following a grand Jirga, organised to ensure sustainable peace in the restive territory, under the chairmanship of the Kohat Region Commissioner. The jirga was attended by over 100 individuals from the rival tribes.
