T hey claime d the nazim had lost a simple majority in the house.

The councillors flayed the nazim for not calling the council`s session during the last four months.

They said the council hadn`t passed the district`s annual development programme council but the nazim had illegally floated tenders for development projects.

The councillors said the nazim bypassed the house while handling the affairs of the district government, an act, which went against the spirit of the local government rules of business.

They demanded the equal distribution of the district ADP funds to the elected members of 21 union councils of the district. The councillors warned they would move the court for relief if the nazim didn`t get the ADP approved by the council and distribute funds to council members fairly.
