The DDC members also demanded proper rehabilitation and resettlement of habitations of Khraipakhnoo, Dangdoru and Pinjrari being at the danger zone at under construction dam, priority employees avenues for local unemployed youths, proper implementation of CSR provisions in all power projects, work allowances for the labourers, removal of anomalies in salaries/wages of labourers, compensation to the damaged houses, engagements of Small scale contractors, sub contractors among many other issues.

Speaking to Early Times, Bhandari confirmed about the incident of exchange of heated arguments between them and the MD CVPPP added that the non serious approach of head of an important institution who is going to be benefited the most from upcoming power projects remind the mindset of the organisation.
Tahir said that all the companies engaged in the construction of power projects must take care of the aspirations of small scale contractors who are equal partner and part of development in Kishtwar District and hence cannot be denied the right to survive opportunity at the cost of fatty firms. |
