SWABI, April 18: The nazim, naib nazim and members of the Yar Hussain West union council have resigned in protest against persistent loadshedding in the area. Nazim Chaudhry Anwar Zeb, Naib Nazim Malik Mohammad Salim and the councillors handed over their resignations to the convener of the district council, Mohammad Salim, on Wednesday.
