A Chinese company has stopped civil works and laid off hundreds of workers at a hydropower project in Pakistan following a suicide attack that killed five Chinese nationals. The incident, which occurred at the Dasu hydropower project, led to the suspension of operations at the Tarbela 5th Extension Hydropower Project as well. The workers affected by the layoffs will receive half their salaries until they resume duties. China has strongly condemned the attack and demanded a thorough investigation.
