CPEC road work resumes after dialogue b/w NHA and affected people
CPEC road work resumes after dialogue b/w NHA and affected people: Construction work on a CPEC road resumed on Wednesday, 14th June 2017 after the district administration along with National Highway Authority (NHA) conducted successful dialogues with the affected people.
The people had halted work on a stretch of road being constructed under the CPEC from Matta Sofian to Chanjal area, the work had been halted due to the non-payment of compensation for their lands according to the market value.
People had requested to the government to pay them commercial value of their lands and houses which had been taken up by the CPEC project.
The issue was resolved at a Jirga which was presided over by the Deputy commissioner Sardar Asad Haroon and attended among others by district nazim Attaur Rehman Khan, land acquisition collector CPEC Tanveer, assistant commissioner Mian Javed Iqbal and representatives of the affected people.
Anwar Baig and Gul Mohammad, representing the affected people, demanded the government to fulfill their demands or else no more construction work would be permitted in their respective areas.
The locals were also told that 15 percent of their compensation amount would be slashed by the NHA authorities which was not acceptable to them said Mr Gul.
Mr Gul also added that the government must also facilitate them with alternative means of living as their houses were going to be taken down soon. He stated that as their lands were located along the KKH they were treated as commercial land.
Gul Mohammad added that from Kas Pul to Chanjal area the land had been treated as commercial, he further demanded that the government should compensate respectively as had been done in the case of Mansehra, Abbottabad and Haripur.
He furthermore asked the officials to move the graves which came under CPEC.
At the meeting the district administration officials had guaranteed the affected people that they would soon get their compensation according to the law. Similarly, Deputy Commissioner Asad Haroon guaranteed the affected people that their rights would be protected by the district administration, but asked them not to hault the construction work on the CPEC as it portrayed a negative image in the world.
The DC for the issue created an action committee of affected people tasked with contacting the relevant authorities on the matter.
Mr Haroon also requested the CPEC officials to take care of the compensation matter of the affected people.
He ordered the NHA officials to start an office in the district headquarters Battagram in order to take care of CPEC related issues.
Soon after the successful dialogue, the affected people made it a point to reinstate the fact to the district administration that they would not stop the construction work on the project.
