Orakzai
The people of Lower Orakzai Bezotkhel tribe protest against the closure of coal mines in the area of Ablan, the district administration against Orakzai. The victims are not allowed to return to their area. Kohat Muhammadzai tribes and Bezot tribes of Orakzai district have been fighting for land demarcation since 2010 on which jirgas were held repeatedly and then it was decided that under the supervision of Commissioner Kohat Division.
The boundaries will be demarcated in the disputed area but before that for unknown reasons closing our coal mines is an injustice to us. We will never tolerate. If we are not accepted, we will boycott the polio campaign and the ongoing Corona Vaccination Campaign.
Addressing the protest grand jirga and demonstration against Raine, Malik Ghulam Habib Zarmila Khan Malang Jan Muhammad Mir Malik Ashraf Khan Malik Yousuf and others said that without giving any reason, the district administration and Kazai Assistant Commissioner Lower Orakzai in the area of Ablan Legal and leased coal mines have been sealed which we consider as utter cruelty to our tribe which is tantamount to snatching food from the mouths of our children, he said.
Dispute is raging over which the district administration Orakzai district administration Kohat Kohat and elected public representatives of Orakzai have repeatedly held jirgas and it has been decided that the commissioner should visit the disputed area under the supervision of Kohat division and meet the two tribes there.
We will determine the demarcation, but first the Orakzai administration sealed off our legal and leased coal mines, which is utter cruelty and abuse, he said. Zai tribes from our 300 They have demolished most of the houses and shops and claimed ownership of it. It is our property from our forefathers and the area is under occupation. We do not accept the claim of ownership of any other tribe on it.
They are demanding that the ban on our legal and leased coal mines be lifted as soon as possible. Return to our areas and homes.
Rehabilitate businesses and houses. Survey damaged houses and markets. If our demands are not met, we will boycott the polio and corona vaccination campaign and hold strong protests as well as sit-ins.
