SHANGLA: The family members of miners, who were abducted and then killed at Kalakhel area of Darra Adamkhel in 2011, have demanded of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to take special measures for safety of Shangla coal miners working at mines in the tribal regions.
They claimed that miners were being targeted in local inter-tribe battles.
According to members of the affected families, a large number of coal miners from Shangla working at the mines in tribal regions of Kohat and other southern districts are unsafe.
Abdul Hanif, uncle of a deceased miner from Ranyal, recalled that five young men of his family had gone for mining work to Kalakhel in 2011 and just two days later they disappeared.
