The Return of the IDPs

In March, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government started the process of rehabilitating the internally displaced persons (IDPs) of Bajaur and Mohmand Agencies of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) living in Jalozai camp near Nowshera. More than 15,000 families from Fata have taken refuge in this camp. However, the government-sponsored rehabilitation drive has not seen much success so far as most of the IDPs have refused to return till their demands of security and financial assistance are met.
