LARKANA, Oct 26: The members of Khushhal Pakistan Panel (KPP) will boycott upcoming session of the Larkana district council scheduled for Oct 28 in protest against pro-PPP members.

The decision came at a meeting of the panel held here on Sunday.

The meeting presided over by Babu Sarwar Siyal observed that since the Pakistan People’s Party government had come into power it had paralysed the district government and allowed bureaucrats to run affairs in contravention of the Sindh Local Government Ordinance.—BoC
