Provincial Finance Award demanded

Published September 3, 2002

BADIN, Sept 2: The Badin District Council, through a unanimously passed resolution, has demanded of the Sindh government to announce the Provincial Finance Award.

It adopted another resolution against allotment of the projects to the NGOs, functioning outside the district, and criticized those representatives of the government who were helping the NGOs. The council demanded that the projects being initiated in the district should be given to the local NGOs.

The district council session was presided over by Mohammad Essa Mallah and attended by 41 members.

At the beginning of the session, the leader of the Union Council’s Nazimeen Ittehad, Sain Bukhsh Jamali, raised the point about the absence of the representatives of government departments at the session.

He said that the officials were not attending the district council sessions on the pretext that they were busy in election work. He said that the people’s work was more important and the officials were actually avoiding answering queries of the members of the council.
