Following threats of a terrorist attack, the Bajaur press club remained closed for a second day on Wednesday.
The club’s president Hasbanullah Khan said that they had been informed by the Bajaur Tribal District administration on Tuesday morning that terrorists could attack the club.

The levy officials also directed the storekeepers of nearby shops to evacuate to avert any damage to life in the event of an attack.
Meanwhile, the threats have prompted the closure of the club, with activities there grinding to a halt.
