MANSEHRA, April 20: Displaced people (DP) of various areas of the NWFP, which were affected by the earthquake and landslides, on Friday demanded Rs75,000 as compensation amount or a five-marla for each family to vacate the Jabba tent-village.

People had taken refugee

in Siren, Kashtara and Jabba tent-villages after their houses were either destroyed or washed away by the quake or landslides.

Mansehra district nazim Sardar Yousaf, Garlat union nazim Munir Lughamani and other politicians visited the Jabba camp to express solidarity with people who are on a hunger strike since Thursday.

Speaking at the hunger-strike camp, they said that the government had announced Rs75,000 each for those who had lost the land in the aftermath of quake and landslides, but that pledge remained unfulfilled.
