WANA: The ongoing sit-in of the Dottani tribe regarding the restoration of mobile signal and internet service in Tehsil Toi Khullah of South Waziristan Lower has entered into four days.
The sit-in participants have closed the Wana Zhob road for all types of traffic.
A large number of local elders and youths participated in the sit-in protest.
The participants said that the main reason for the road closure was that there is signal and internet service in the whole of Pakistan, but Tehsil Toi Khullah is the only unfortunate area whose people are deprived of this basic facility even in this modern era.
The participants said that Toi Khullah is the only tehsil which is peaceful and free from terrorism,
yet the government is treating us like a stepmother.
The participants said that most of our people are living in foreign countries and other cities of Pakistan, we have to go to remote areas to make these contacts.
