PESHAWAR, Jan 19: District Nazim Pervez Khattak has alleged that there is virtually no government in the province and the bureaucracy is calling the shots.

Speaking at the district council session here on Monday, he said President Pervez Musharraf had delegated power to the gross roots but the bureaucracy took those powers back from members of the local governments.

He said the district government had completed development schemes worth Rs500 million. The MMA government, he alleged, was involved in power struggle, which had destroyed the administrative structure of the province.
