Bajaur: Curfew Imposed Amid Security Measures
In a significant move to enhance security, the district administration of Bajaur has imposed a curfew across 24 localities in Mamond tehsil. This measure, which is part of a broader operation targeting terrorism, has raised concerns and discussions among residents and observers alike.
According to an official notification approved by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Home Department, the curfew will remain in effect from 5 PM on August 16 until 5 PM on August 21. During this period, residents are strictly prohibited from stepping out of their homes or using the roads. Authorities have emphasized that any violations will have consequences, as they aim to maintain order during this critical time.
The affected areas include Malangi, Suprayi, Dwaogai, and many more. Local residents are understandably anxious, hoping that these measures will lead to a safer environment in Bajaur.
Interestingly, while security measures are being enforced, there’s also a push for infrastructure development. The army has initiated emergency construction work on the Jarr Bridge, which was recently washed away by flooding. This bridge is vital as it connects Bajaur with Dir, and the disruption has made travel challenging for residents. The army’s Corps of Engineers is on-site with heavy machinery, working around the clock to restore this crucial link, promising to complete the task in just a few days.
The restoration of the Jarr Bridge will not only facilitate transportation but also enhance the overall connectivity of the region. It’s a reminder that, even in times of uncertainty, efforts are being made to rebuild and progress.
