It is to be mentioned here that twin bombings in Parachinar days before Eid killed 75 people and injured about 300.
Since the bombing, the residents of the town are staging sit-in which continued for a sixth consecutive day. They are demanding those behind the bloodshed be brought to book and compensation for the victims and injured.
Addressing the protest, the head of the Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen said he had a detailed meeting with the army chief which had a positive outcome.
Saad Edhi, the grandson of the late philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, visited the protest camp and announced the opening of an Edhi centre in Parachinar to provide immediate relief to residents of the city in case of an emergency.
He lamented that despite repeated terror attacks and mass casualties, there is lack of facilities in local hospitals due to which they are unable to cope with any emergency-like situation.
