Kakshal Nazim Arshad Tandar and Naib Nazim Ibrahim Khan led the demonstrators.Addressing the demonstrators, they said area people were facing numerous problems due to Wapda and Nadra officials, who allegedly had an uncaring attitude. They said continuous and unannounced power loadshedding had multiplied the problems of residents, while excessive bills had hit the people hard.
The speakers also demanded transfer of the SDO of Kohat Road subdivision. The peakers flayed the attitude of the Nadra officials, alleging that despite attestation of documents from Nazim or MPA, the Nadra officials were not issuing the CNICs. They said the same was the case with the Passport Office staff.They demanded of the officials to issue the CNICs and passports to those who had completed the requirements. The demonstration disrupted the traffic as the demonstrators marched towards the press club from Kakshal, obstructing the flow of traffic. The vehicles were moving at snail’s pace, as the marchers did not allow the motorists to move on the busy Sher Shah Suri Road.
