In this regard, the chief minister has issued a notification assigning duties to the public representatives to redress the grievances of the public.
In the notification, all concerned members have been provided details about their districts and respective dates for conducting their public assemblies.
However, the distribution seems disturbing as the ministers are assigned duties in districts other than they got elected from.
Sindh CM Murad Ali Shah will hold a meeting on September 25 in the Hyderabad division.
Provincial Minister Nasir Hussain Shah, who got elected from Sukkur district, is assigned to hold a meeting in Shaheed Benazirabad district on September 30.
Whereas, Sardar Ali Shah of Umerkot will hear public issues in the Sukkur district on September 28.
Though Information Minister Saeed Ghani is from Karachi’s East district, he will be doing the meeting in Hyderabad on October 19.
Whereas, Karachi Administrator Murtaza Wahab is assigned to Naushero Feroze on September 21 and Shaheed Benazirabad’s Azra Fazal Pechuho will look after Mirpurkhas on September 29.
Reacting to the government’s notification, people are of the view that public representatives should be allocated their respective constituencies as it becomes easier to address and understand the issues of locals.
