Share collections of Tamakoshi postponed

The Operating Committee of the Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectricity Project has postponed the date of collecting shares from locals of Dolkha for the second time, who were given 10 per cent shares. The determined date for the share collection was March 15, which was postponed the first time to March 22 and now has been deferred the second time on Saturday for indefinite period. Since the Operation Committee has decided to hold talks with concerned workers in presence of legal experts on labor law, the Project has urged to stop the strike and called for the meeting. Denizens around Singati have been obstructing transportation of the project for the last week demanding additional units of shares. The halt posed by workers and the locals has caused a loss of around 200 million rupees to the project till date.
