He claimed that in view of the public need and easier the facility was established by the member national assembly Ibadullah Khan in march this year but the current closed it permanently hence deprived the local people of basic right.
Zahoor Elahi, a local said that local people would face problems in making their identity cards with the suspension of service at Olandar which was recently opened for the local public.
He said, as local people would had to to Bisham or Alpuri for making their ID cards once again they have to spend a huge amount on travel expense for making their cards, other essential documents too.
Speakers at the protest said that they would appeal in the court against the federal government’s decision of closing Nadra offices in Shangla.
Meanwhile, MNA Ibadullah Khan said the PTI led government intended to close all projects initiated by PML-N in the past which is injustice with the public.
He said, he would meet the chairman Nadra in this regard and if the issue was not resolved and Nadra Olandar facility was not made functional again he would knock the doors of courts to challenge the decision of closing Nadra centers.
