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.
Strike action by local councils’ executive secretaries has stalled meetings and decisions while deputy secretaries and mayors have had to step in and step up to keep the wheels turning.
The dispute regarding the executive secretaries’ financial package and other conditions has been going on for almost two months now and some local councils have not met in weeks because the law requires them to attend.
However, in many cases, deputy secretaries, who form part of the clerical staff, have been unaffected by the action and able to do the job, Mario Fava, president of the Local Councils’ Association, said.
