Locals, too, have joined hands with the workers, demanding more shares allocation for them.
Work on the 456-megawatt capacity project has come to a grinding halt as all 850 workers are on strike. The agitating workers have not even allowed workers of Sino Hydro Company, the contractor of the project, and other technicians to enter the project site.
The workers have been demanding that they be given at least 500 shares each.
“We have been working day and night. Whey cannot we get shares when officials of investing institutions are getting as much as 3,500 units of share each,” Sonam Dorje Sherpa, coordinator of Workers’ Struggle Committee, told Republica.
Locals of project affected VDCs have also been halting movement of vehicles carrying raw materials to the project site, demanding hike in share allocation for them.
