The locals of Bakote protested against the possible installation of the stone-crushing plant on Saturday. Concerned citizens including Turab Abbasi, Abid, Rameez, and others told The Express Tribune that a powerful group running the business of stone crushing was bent upon destroying the future of their children. They said that a stone-crushing plant was being installed some 100 metres away from a picnic point which was a source of income for the local populace. They said that they did not have enough support from locals as they were unaware of the dangers associated with a stone crushing plant. Published in The Express Tribune, October 25th, 2020.
