Protest rally is taking place in the Pankisi Gorge. The locals gathered in the area where the construction of the HPP is to be started.
According to the population, in case of implementation of the project, they will face environmental problems that impede supply of drinking and irrigation water.
The Pankisi people have already prepared the letter to the Prime Minister and urge him to get interested in the issue.The population speaks about the pressure on the locals by the law enforcement agencies. They say that despite the summoning of the youth and the elders in the police, the protest will not stop.
The company plans to construct a 110-kilowatt power transmission line in the Birkian-Jokolo-Duisi section, but works can not start due to the protests.
