CHITRAL: Thousands of residents staged a sit-in in the Drosh bazaar after Friday prayers to register their protest against the inordinate delay in the completion of Sheshi hydel power house.
Qari Jamal Abdul Nasir, Moulana Musharraf and others said on the occasion that the authorities of small hydel development organisation had to complete the project by the end of 2006 but still it was incomplete. They said residents were facing over 20-hour loadshedding on daily basis.
They resolved to continue the sit-in for indefinite period but later on, the district nazim, Maghfirat Shah, persuaded them to disperse peacefully and defer the protest.--Zahiruddin
