JI-Wapda row causes hardships to consumers
TEMERGARAH, Feb 4: The continuing tussle between the Jamaat-i- Islami activists and Wapda authorities over the beating of a Wapda engineer, Sardar Bahadur Khan, has badly stalled the routine office work in the area.
Two weeks ago, a charged group of JI activists attacked the Wapda offices and beat Mr Khan and his staff. Later, Mr Khan was admitted to a hospital. The administration registered a criminal case against the local JI secretary, Aizazul Mulk Afkari and 10 others, including activists of Hizbul Mujahideen.
Except one activists Afkari, all others nominated in the hooliganism have been released on bail. The local leaders of the Awami National Party, PPP (Sherpao) and WApda Hydro Electric Union had condemned the violent act and urged the government to take legal action against the culprits.
The tussle between the local JI and Wapda staff has stalled the working of Wapda office and consumers are suffering to get their problems resolved.
