KPK councillors protesting as they have not recieved salaries and not even any incentive.
It’s been 6 months now since the local body elections were held in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa (KP) yet the Village and Neighborhood councillors have neither received any salaries nor do they have any authority.
The councilors said that the provincial government hasn’t yet allowed the devolution of power to lower levels. “Though the Nazims have the salaries and incentives but there are none for the councilors”, they said.
The protesters were carrying placards and banners on this occasion. Councillors also raised slogans against the government.
It’s been 6 months since the elections were held in KP but the concept of the devolution of power has not realized as yet.
