Security,
not nuisance, All parties
demand
Chitral
-- A meeting of heads and reps of all parties of district
Chitral, held at the press club, demanded end to unnecessary teasing
of local people in the name of security. They said security does
necessarily entail some nuisance but the nuisance should not
surpass limits.
The speakers said, security can be achieved with efficient
intelligence and strict vigilance but visible road blocks at every
step and checking of id cards every few kilometers creates too much
of frustration for the local peaceful people. speakers said,
instead of pestering the local people in the towns and on the roads,
security at the borders should be strengthened to stop infiltration.
Speakers also demanded immediate opening of both Lowari tunnels to
cut down the travelling miseries of commuters, bring down prices of
essential commodities by reduction in freight when the two tunnels
would be used and cutting down three hours of torturous journey over
the Lowari top.. . -
