CHAGAI: Employees of Saindak project and area residents continued their protest against the alleged strict restrictions imposed by Chinese firm the MCC Resource Development Limited (MRDL) for the third consecutive day on Saturday.
The workers, after performing their duties, have been observing protest inside the Saindak Copper-cum-Gold Project, while the residents are staging a sit-in outside.
Former provincial minister Sakhi Amanullah Notezai and local politician Arz Mohammad Barech, along with their supporters, reached Saindak and expressed solidarity with the protesters, but they were not allowed by the Frontier Corps to enter the project’s premises and meet the protesting workers.
