PARACHINAR: Due to snowfall severe cold gripped Parachinar and other parts of the upper parts of tribal district Kurram on Saturday and residents have restricted their movement to their houses. The mercury in Parachinar has dropped to minus 10C and standing water has frozen, resulting in the closure of bazaars in Parachinar as shopkeepers belonging to far-flung localities did not arrive to open their businesses. The residents of Upper Kurram are using Angeethi (fire) to warm and protect themselves against severe cold. APP
