MANSEHRA: The Manchora Dam affectees took to the streets on Sunday to demand the release of payment for their lands acquired for the project since in 2016.
“We have been holding protest demonstrations for the last several years seeking payments for our land acquired for this irrigation-cum-electricity project but to no avail,” Alamzeb Khan, the chairman of the Action Committee of the dam’s affectees, told the protesters at the dam site in Oghi on Sunday.
The protesters, who had gathered there, raised slogans in support of the demands and against the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and federal governments, which, according to them, didn’t release their payments.
Payments to start from late February.
More than 77,000 Scottish Child Payment applications have been received since Social Security Scotland started taking applications on 9 November.
The new benefit, which is unique to Scotland, will give qualifying parents and carers £40 every four weeks for each child under six.
The benefit started yesterday, meaning that Social Security Scotland is now able to do final eligibility checks and start issuing decisions.
The first decisions and payments will arrive from later this month.
Payments for those who applied yesterday or earlier have been backdated. Parents and carers have not yet applied and have a child under six are encouraged to apply today to get the maximum amount of money they are entitled to.
