GHALANAI, Nov 10: About 500 more FC personnel were deployed to the regional headquarters here on Monday amid continuing curfew. Due to movement of the personnel the main Peshawar-Bajaur road remained closed for all kind of civilian traffic.

Long queues of vehicles were seen on both sides of the road particularly in Yakaghund area and where College of Management Sciences is located, causing difficulties to thousands of passengers including women and children.

The patients were the worst sufferers owing to lack of staff at the regional headquarters hospital.Educational institutions, banks, offices of Nadra, Baitul Mal, and Pakistan post are closed due to the curfew for the last fifteen days.— Correspondent
