Officials from multiple government departments on Thursday arrived at the proposed site for the Unity Mall project in Chimbel to carry out a joint inspection, even as protestors continued their indefinite strike opposing the development.
The inspection team visited the exact location earmarked for the construction of the mall, with police personnel deployed at the site to maintain law and order during the exercise. The visit comes amid sustained protests by local residents and stakeholders who have raised objections to the project.

Sources said the joint inspection was aimed at assessing ground-level conditions and reviewing technical and administrative aspects related to the proposed development. The presence of officials from various departments indicates that the project remains under active consideration despite the ongoing agitation.
Protestors, meanwhile, reiterated their demands and stated that their indefinite strike would continue until their concerns are addressed by the authorities. Further developments are expected following the completion of the inspection and subsequent discussions by the government.
