Villagers of Mirabag on Monday launched a dharna andolan against the proposed Bandara project, declaring that their protest will continue until the project is completely scrapped.
The agitation began with villagers offering prayers in front of Rakhandar, seeking strength and justice for their cause before commencing the protest.
Residents have expressed strong opposition to the proposed project, stating that it would adversely affect their livelihoods, environment, and the traditional character of the area. They have demanded that the authorities immediately withdraw the proposal and respect the will of the local community.
Villagers said they are prepared for a sustained agitation and will intensify their protest if their demands are not addressed.
