One thought on “MNA demands 24 hrs opening of Lowari tunnel

  1. In the light of experience it can be assumed that the most likely outcome of MNA’s protest and press conference would be that someone from the concerned department would apologize with the MNA, a couple of sepoys would be shuffled here and there and a ‘muk muka’ between the MNA and those who offended him would occur and business as usual would continue at the tunnel i.e disgracing of travelers and making vehicles wait in long lines while tunnel staff have lunch break etc would continue.
