• In 1947, Pakistan inherited a colonial system of governance,
om
which was designed to collect land revenue in predominately-
t.c
agricultural economy and raising troops to fight/expand
po
empire. Government existed for the sovereign and its sole
gs
lo
purpose was to safeguard the interest of the Crown. The
b
k.
people’s welfare was non-existent.
ap
an
kh
• The provincial governments governed the districts and tehsils
ta
b
directly through the bureaucracy at the Divisional, District
ku
and Tehsil levels. There was separate system/structure of local

du
r
.u
governments for cities/town (urban areas) and rural areas. The

w
local government institutions were watched and controlled by

w
w
a chain of bureaucracy.

BENEFITS OF TMAs AND TEHSIL COUNCILS

Rural and urban areas have come under a single structure
om
for municipal functions. Village has been recognized as a
t.c
municipal entity.

gs
TMAs are responsible for municipal functions and provide
blo
support to the villages for municipal functions in all unions.

ap
Land use control and master planning for every urban place
an
kh
and village across the tehsil, thus setting a stage for coherent
b
development of the entire Tehsil and ‘urbanization of rural
ta
ku
areas’.
du
r
.u
Decentralization of PHED, HPPD and LG&RDD to TMA has

w
w
enhanced TMA capability to deliver municipal services.

w
25
Contd…
Tehsil Councils reduce rural-urban friction by providing
om
opportunities for representation in proportion to population
t.c
and taxation in proportion to services.
po
gs
lo
Expansion of Union Councils to urban areas provides equal
b
k.
opportunities for participation at the most local level.
