KHYBER AGENCY : Mulagori residents Friday staged a protest demonstration
against MNA Shahji Gul Afridi and public health officials for not resolving
their longstanding water problem that had not been addressed despite an acute
shortage of portable water in Mulagori subdivision of Khyber Agency.
The protesters, led by subedar(R) Sabz Ali, were holding
banners and black flags and marched on Mulagori-Shalman road. They chanted full
throat slogans against MNA Shahji Gul and public health department officials.
Speaking on the occasion, Sabz Ali said they had voted for MNA
Shahji Gul to resolve their water problem they were facing for the last several
years. He said that women in Lwara Mena were fetching water on their heads from
the far away streams. He said they have made several requests to the public
health department officials and Shahji Gul but to no avail.
Sabz Ali said water supply from Warsak dam had been
suspended several months ago which was the lone source of drinking water for
people in Mulagori subdivision.
Speakers alleged that MNA Shahji Gul had made many promises with
the people of Mulagori but he never returned to his words. They threatened that
if their genuine demand was not fulfilled in one week they would stage protest
at the front of governor house in Peshawar.
