176 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, taking the provincial tally to 2,160, according to the KP health department.
The province also recorded 10 new deaths in the last 24 hours — seven in Peshawar, two Mardan and one in Abbottabad. KP's death toll now stands at 114.
The government’s constant threats to suspend KP’s elected dispensation over a political protest have escalated hostilities considerably. In that context, both sides did well to start talking.
