posted in dawn

Kohat tehsil nazim announced on Monday to send two employees of Tehsil Municipal Administration for pilgrimage on the government expenses this year.

Addressing a press conference, the out going tehsil nazim, Dilbar Khan, briefed journalists about the achievements made during his period and claimed that he had turned the bankrupt institution into self reliant organisation.

He said that when they took over the TMA had no money to pay salaries and had to rent tractors and called fire tenders from PAF and Kohat Tunnel. But now the TMA was self sufficient and had its own fire brigade, tractors, trolleys and bank balance enough for clearing the electricity bills and paying salaries for one year, he added.

He also announced a grant of Rs200,000 for Kohat Press Club.
