Karachi: Governor Sindh, Dr Ishratul Ibad has promulgated an ordinance restoring the local government system in Karachi and Hyderabad.
In accordance with the Ordinance called the Sindh Land Revenue (Amendment) Ordinance 2011 that has come into force at once, Tando Mohammad Khan Matiari and Tando Allahyar have also been granted the status of independent districts.
The three districts with the restoration of commissionerate system in the province, on July 7 this year, had been merged into Hyderabad division.
The Ordinance to amend the Sindh (Repeal of the Sindh Local Government Ordinance, 2001 and Revival of Sindh Local Government Ordinance, 1979) (Amendment) Ordinance 2011 has been introduced to promote peace and harmony in Sindh.
Since the Provincial Assembly was not in session and the Governor was satisfied that circumstances existed which rendered it to take immediate action, “Now, therefore, in exercise of powers conferred by the clause (1) of Article 128 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Governor is pleased to make and promulgate the Ordinance,” said a communication received on Sunday.
