BARA, 23 November: An unannounced curfew was clamped in different parts of the Bara subdivision of Khyber agency on Wednesday morning, local people said.

According to official sources, the curfew was apparently imposed due to the possible visit of Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif to the agency. The Army chief is expected to pay a farewell visit to the agency, where he would inaugurate work on a sports stadium, named after star cricket Shahid Khan Afridi, an official of the local administration said on condition of anonymity.

He informed that the curfew would remain imposed in Sipah, Bar Qambar Khel, Aka Khel, Shalobar and Malik Din Khel areas.

Local tribesmen of these areas have expressed resentment over the imposition of curfew and said they had been facing numerous problems due to the curfew.
