       However, later on Monday evening, the curfew was lifted and all roads were opened to traffic to ease people’s suffering.

       The deputy commissioners said that the lifting of curfew was aimed at facilitating people’s movement.

       It merits a mention here that the security situation in Lower and Upper South Waziristan has deteriorated with a rise in terrorist activities, including bombings, targeted killing, and attacks on police and security forces’ checkposts.

       These incidents have raised concerns over the safety of civilians and security personnel, prompting increased security measures in the area.
