LAHORE: As the Punjab government continues delaying implementation of the March 25 order on the pretext of ‘waiting for a detailed judgment’, mayors, district councils’ chairmen and others have finally decided to file a contempt petition against the government for not handing over the charge of the local bodies offices to them.
As many as 17 mayors and district council’s chairmen, led by Lahore mayor retired Col Mubashir Javed, are set to file a contempt petition by next week, Dawn has learnt.
“We have been left with no option but to move a contempt petition in the Supreme Court in the next few days against the Punjab government,” the Lahore mayor told Dawn on Saturday.
