Migration from Tirah Valley during winter a routine process: Kundi

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has clarified that there was no ongoing military operation in the Tirah Valley, adding that the migration of people from the region during winter was a routine process.
Speaking to the media, the governor explained that this year, the provincial government had allocated Rs 4 billion to assist with the relocation and rehabilitation of displaced persons, with the registration of internally displaced persons (IDPs) already underway.
Mr Kundi noted that traditionally, up to 30 percent of the population in the area migrates during the winter months.
However, this year, due to concerns over potential military operations, the migration rate has surged to 50–60 percent. He reassured that anti-terrorism operations, while necessary, would continue to target terrorist elements wherever they are found.
The governor advised Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) to clarify its political direction and refrain from engaging in chaotic politics.
He also commented on the 28th Constitutional Amendment, stating that any proposed changes would undergo thorough debate in Parliament after Eid.
Faisal Karim Kundi has stated that the provincial government’s primary focus was on ensuring the well-being of all individuals, including prisoners, stressing that the law applies equally to everyone.
Mr Kundi defended the transfer of former prime minister Imran Khan from prison to a hospital for treatment, stating that such a process was both human and legal.
He emphasized that the treatment of the former premier should not be subject to unnecessary objection, as it was part of standard legal and humanitarian procedures.
