MANSEHRA: The people took to the streets and blocked the Karakoram Highway (KKH) to traffic for over an hour on Friday against the appointment of non-locals at 4300 mega-watts Dasu Hydropower Project being executed in the district headquarters of Upper Kohistan.
“The Wapda had signed an agreement with us when it acquired land for this mega energy project that labourers and non-technical staff would be inducted only from Kohistan but now deviated from its commitments,” Bakht Boland, the former nazim, told participants of the rally.
The rally was taken out from the Kamila Bazaar and the participants assembled on the court premises in Dasu after marching through various roads.
