Stay on construction of five-star hotel removed

CHITRAL: A court here on Thursday removed the stay order issued earlier on the construction of a five-star hotel near Chitral town.

The stay was granted on the request of some local people who claimed ownership on the land on which Bejaan hotel is being constructed.

On an application filed by a counsel for Anwar Aman, the owner, the court allowed him to restart work at the site.

Work on the Rs5 billion worth of project owned by the American business tycoon of Chitral origin was inaugurated by prime minister’s special assistant Zulfi Bukhari last year.
