“The ulema backed by all local tribes have announced that the residents won’t be allowed to hamper smooth execution of the Dasu energy project. Those challenging the government’s writ will be taken to task,” deputy commissioner Arif Khan Yusufzai told reporters at the end of a jirga in Dasu, the district headquarters of Upper Kohistan, on Thursday.
