MANSEHRA: The people of Upper Kohistan on Tuesday staged a sit-in outside the deputy commissioner and Wapda offices to demand the expulsion of the non-locals appointed in the 4300 megawatts Dasu Hydropower Project.
âWe have earlier given a deadline to the district administration and Wapda to expel the non-locals appointed on the non-technical and labourers positions but to no avail. And now our sit-in will continue until all our demands are met,â Maulana Waliullah Tauheedi told the participants of the sit-in staged outside the Wapdaâs offices in Dasu, the district headquarters of Upper Kohistan.
The protesters, who staged a sit-in outside the deputy commissioner offices earlier in the day, marched on Karakoram Highway up to the Wapda offices and raised slogans in support of their demands against the Wapda and administration.
