Hammana Residents Block Highway to Protest Dam Project

Hammana residents on Wednesday staged a sit-in and blocked the Dahr al-Baidar international highway at the Falougha intersection, state-run National News Agency reported.

The move comes in protest at the inauguration of the al-Qaisamani dam project in the Falougha area, “which might in the future affect the drinking water supply in Hammana,” NNA said.

Earlier on Wednesday, schools had suspended classes and church bells were rung in protest, the agency added.
