Issues facing Naryab include construction of roads and transportation, electricity, medical facilities and formal education. Naryab Road has become a point of contention between JUI-F and PTI, the two big political parties. Gas royalties above five crore rupees have been issued to Tehsil Thall for the construction of Naryab Road. The two parties are contesting the use of the funds. The struggle delayed construction for more than three years. The disagreement became prominent on social media. Another main problem of Naryab is electricity. After the formation of PTI's government in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and the PML-N government, the electricity was disconnected for non-payment. Villagers claim that before 2013, WAPDA was delivering only 10 volts for two hours in 24 hours, making it unreasonable to pay more than two hundredthousand rupees for such limited service.
Tribes
The main tribe in Naryab is Badha Khel, which is a dispersed sub-tribe of Para Chamkani, now affiliated with the Bangash tribe. Their second occupies neighboring village Chapri Naryab, which is considered a part of the Orakzai tribe. The third is in the Ali Zai area of Orakzai Agency in the Shiite Belt, which is affiliated with Orakzai. The fourth is in the Mirali area of North Waziristan, named as Bado Khel which is affiliated with the Dawar tribe. Their main tribe is in Karman Area of Kurram Agency which is considered a sub-tribe of the Turi tribe i.e. a major Shiite tribe. Historically these are all of the Para Chamkani tribe.
History
The history of Naryab dates back to three hundred years, when this region was populated by migrants from Kurram Agency. Qadir Khan Bangash people migrated from Afghanistan when the area was populated by the Bada Khel sub-tribe of Para Chamkani. These Bada Khels, after settling in Karman, began to convert to Shi'ism under the influence of Turis. According to the Bada Khels, some families who later migrated to Orakzai Agency also adopted Shiite faith. But the Bada Khel families migrated to Naryab and North Waziristan, changing only their tribal identity, remaining Ahl-e-Sunnat. The reason for the dispersal of this sub-tribe is unknown, but the most widely believed cause is their clash with other sub-tribes.
