Due to the violence, the Peshawar-Parachinar main road and the Pak-Afghan Kharlachi border crossing were closed, leading to severe shortages of essential supplies such as food, fuel, and medicine.

Furthermore, all educational institutions in the city and the conflict zones remained shut for an entire week, disrupting students’ learning. The local community hopes the ceasefire will restore normalcy in the district, allowing residents to return to their daily lives.
