Mega city project under CPEC: owners protest against KP CM for depriving them of lands

The infuriated owners of lands on sides of Motorway near Naushehra took to streets in district Naushehra on Sunday and staged a protest against the KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak for allegedly depriving them of their lands for a mega city project under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The land owners holding banners and placards inscribed with their demands and chanted slogans against the chief minister for not taking them into confidence. They refused to hand over their lands for the project and said if the project was that much important than the CM should provide land in his own constituency. Protesters alleged that the CM wanted to construct a housing scheme on 21000 acres of agricultural land located on sides of Motorway near Colonel Sher Khan Interchange.
