Muzaffarabad (PoK), Oct 05 (ANI): Massive anti-Pakistan protests have erupted in Muzaffarabad city and other parts of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) as the residents demand an end to Pakistani occupation and strong opposition to construction of dams in the region. The protests were led by United Kashmir People’s National Party (UKPNP) and its student wing United Kashmir National Students Organisation (UKNSO). They shouted slogans like “Jeevey Kashmir Meri Jaan- Bhaar Main jayea Pakistan” (Long Live Kashmir, Go to hell Pakistan) and Dariyon par Kabza, Namanzoor (Occupation of rivers not allowed). Pakistan call the region as so-called “Free Kashmir” but continues to exploit its resources by building mega dams and hydro power projects on rivers like Neelum and Jhelum. Such projects have not only affected the ecology but have limited the resources for the use of local residents. The people in Muzaffarabad are facing acute water shortage after the construction of Neelum-Jhelum hydro power project. The youth in the region are also feeling threatened as their jobs are now taken by Chinese workers.
