What Punjab may choose may not fit in with the requirements of Balochistan with a small population and larger area. Each province would design its own configuration of union/ town/ tehsil/ municipal / district councils depending on population, area and density. In predominantly rural areas, the nazim of the district council would head the district government.

For other districts there would be a mix of district councils and municipal corporations/ committees. For large urban areas, metropolitan corporations would be the only vehicle with the mayor heading the district government.

Nazims would be directly elected on party basis and half of the seats of various corporations and councils would be allocated on proportional representation and reserved for women, technocrats, minorities, peasants and labourers. Future recruitment and promotion etc would be decided by the local governments themselves according to their needs and requirements. Nine, social welfare and community development and, ten, women’s development.Īll staff up to Grade 16 should be transferred along with their salary and allowances budgets. Seven, roads, bridges within the district limits. Three, water supply, sewerage, solid waste disposal.

Two, primary and secondary health up to district hospitals. Within the political dimension, the provincial governments should devolve the following functions completely to the local governments: one, school education up to matric.
