Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM to meet PM over tribal displacement
The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, is going to meet with Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, to talk about the many people who have left their homes in the Tirah Valley.
The Tirah Valley is a hilly area near the border with Afghanistan.
People are leaving because they are worried about possible military actions against terrorists in the area.
The Chief Minister says the federal government has not kept its promises to help people who had to leave their homes before.
He has also announced that PKR 4 billion has been given to help those affected, and more money can be given if needed.
The military says they are only doing small operations against terrorists, not a big operation.
Tribal leaders will meet to decide what to do next to protect the rights of the people who have left their homes.
