 | | The district planning officer, Waheedur Rehman, informed Dawn on Thursday that the income of the district from its own resources was almost nil and it relied entirely on grants from the provincial and federal governments. |
 | | The city nazim, Syed Tariq Hussain Shah, meanwhile, had already rejected a proposal of the district council wherein it had been suggested that professional tax be imposed on the shopkeepers, tailors, cobblers as well as introduce extra tax on houses and commercial buildings. |
