LANDI KOTAL: To resent grab private properties by National Logistic Cell (NLC) a protest demonstration was held here in Torkham on Friday.

Number of residents of Khuga Khel tribe while holding black flags, marching at Landi Kotal-Torkham highway to denounce the act of National Logistic Cell.

They were carrying placards inscribed with writings like “forcibly seize of private properties unacceptable”, “we want justice” etc. and were chanting full-throat slogans against the allegedly injustice policy adopted by the NLC. Addressing to the angry mob their leaders including Haji Abdur Rahim, Ghalib Khan, Musthaqeem, Noor Ameer and others criticized the NLC for snatching their property, located in Torkham and said it initiated construction work without taking them on-board.

The construction site was our personal land therefore no one had authority to grant it to NLC as charity, he added and saying they were legal and original owners of the property and case had been already in process in the court. “We are not against  border management policy and want to give our land for uplift schemes however deal should be made as per legal process”, they remarked. They threatened that if construction works was not halted at their property, they would begin indefinite agitation.
