What is happening in the Kurram Agency it is since mid eighteenth century and before the Britain they had fought a lot with the local tribes and they Succeeded. When the Britain arrived in the valley and they found the Turis very hard to defeat and they negotiate with the Turis in a result they decided to form a force who depend the sovereignty and dignity of both parties. So the formation of Turis Militia was initiated under Captain C.M. Dallas on 18 Oct. 1892, with a view to avoid the serious commitment of regular Army units for the protection of borders as well as to provide protection to Turis Shia Community in the valley. The raising of Turi Militia was later on completed by Captain E.W.S.K Maconchey of the 4th Punjab Infantry. The headquarters of the Militia was originally located at Balish Khel about 30 kilometers east of Parachinar but was soon shifted to Parachinar itself. Initially in 1899 an experiment was made of dividing the Militia into two separate battalions under separate commandants. The first battalion with strength of 957 was to be mobile force for defense against foreign aggression, while the second was for garrisoning the valley. However, when this arrangement proved impracticable, the two battalions were amalgamated under one commandant in 1902. About this time the Turi Militia was renamed as Kurram Militia. Now the community once again facing the same situation like the mid 18th century. And the people of the Valley is requesting the government to install the Kurram Militia on the previous position I mean on 1986 position because before 88 there were no such situation in the Agency. When Kurram Militia displays from his position in 1988 by the Zia regime in since that day clashes between the different factions and sects began. Now the people of the Kurram Valley want to reinstall the Kurram Militia because the people are suffering since 30 years and this is the only acceptable solution to end the crisis.
