PESHAWAR: The Local Council Association (LCA) arranged a training workshop with the support of commonwealth Local Government for the protection of the basic rights of the minorities.
Former local bodies’ representatives and minority members from across the province participated in the workshop. Speakers highlighted the problems being faced by the minority communities. They asked the government to take steps for providing protection to minority communities in Pakistan.
The speakers said the government had allocated a five percent quota in every government department for the minorities. However, they said that the minority members were not being hired on the basis of that allocated quota.
