According to the district administration, Karam district has been in the grip of land disputes for the past few months, these disputes take a communal form and the situation reaches clashes.
Many people have been killed in these clashes while land routes and roads are also closed.
The clashes are then stopped with the help of pollinators, but after some time the same conflict starts again.
The recent dispute and the subsequent closure of the main highway leading to Para Chinar came to light when a local man from Muqbal area of Kurram district was shot at by unknown assailants along with his family in a vehicle.
According to the police, 14 people were killed in this incident, including three women and two children, while two attackers were killed in the retaliatory firing by the security forces.
In view of the tense situation in Karam after the incident, the district administration had closed the main highway leading to Para Chinnar, causing severe hardship to the people of the area.

**Interview with Tajumal Hasan Agha, Leader of Anjuman Hussainiya in Para Chinar**
**Host:** Welcome, Tajumal Hasan Agha, and thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent developments in Para Chinar regarding the road closures. Can you start by sharing the reasons behind the protests?
**Tajumal Hasan Agha:** Thank you for having me. The protests began due to the closure of the main highway for over 22 days, which has severely disrupted our daily lives and the movement of goods and people, particularly laborers heading abroad. The impact has been immense, leading to shortages and complications with travel plans.
**Host:** I understand that following the protests, the district administration has made some changes. Can you explain what those are?
**Tajumal Hasan Agha:** Yes, after our peaceful demonstrations and foot marches, the district administration has agreed to partially open the road. For the next ten days, vehicles will be allowed to pass in a security convoy, which is a step forward, but the road remains closed to regular traffic.
**Host:** What can you tell us about the participation of the community in these protests?
**Tajumal Hasan Agha:** The community has shown incredible unity and strength. Our foot march covered 25 kilometers, culminating in a sit-in to raise awareness about our plight. This collective action is crucial in pushing the government to listen to our demands.
**Host:** You mentioned a Jirga to discuss future actions. What are the goals of this gathering, and what might happen if the road is closed again?
**Tajumal Hasan Agha:** The Jirga, held today, aims to formulate a comprehensive plan of action if our demands are not fully met in the future. We are committed to peaceful protests, but we will not hesitate to mobilize again if necessary. Our community’s well-being is our priority, and we will continue to fight for our rights.
**Host:** Thank you for your insights, Tajumal. Your dedication to the cause is evident, and we hope for a peaceful resolution for the people of Para Chinar.
**Tajumal Hasan Agha:** Thank you. We appreciate the support and attention to our situation. It’s crucial for the voices of the people to be heard in these challenging times.
