The three-week-long Jirga was supervised by Kohat Division Commissioner Moatasim Billah Shah, and both parties committed to mutual cooperation with the government and local administration to ensure lasting peace. As part of the deal, the government plans to establish a special force to ensure security and safeguard routes leading to Kurram.
The formal announcement of the Kurram Peace Agreement will be made at the Governor House in Peshawar. Both parties have been given until February 1 to implement the agreement, including the dismantling of bunkers and surrendering of weapons.
The roads leading to Kurram will remain closed until peace is assured, but a helicopter service for essential supplies will continue.
