23/02/2018
NOWSHERA, Feb 22: The entire township of Nowshera observed complete bandh on the seventh consecutive day today and people held protest against the denial of the post of Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) to this Sub-Division.
All the shops and other business establishments in the main bazaar and adjoining markets remained closed in the town while the agitating people including youth and college students also joined the protest march. The Joint Action Committee including members from Beopar Mandal, Bar Association, Sanatan Dharam Sabha, Nowshera besides several local political and social organisations have joined hands to launch united struggle.
They were protesting against the Government decision to sanction ADC's post to Kotranka (Kandi), ignoring the largest Sub Division-Nowshera. The movement of vehicles was also stalled by the protesting people. The protest dharna in the Tehsil and SDM office complex also affected the functioning in these offices.
The speakers claimed that District Adminis tration had assured that the issue has been taken with the higher authorities and it would be resolved shortly, most likely in next cabinet meeting but it was just attempt to befool the public and suspend their agitation a week ago. He said the Govt was just buying time.
