CHITRAL: The town hall and office premises of the District Council have formally been handed over to the Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) Chitral.
Under the guidelines issued by the provincial government, the Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) Chitral is the legal successor to all movable and immovable assets of the former District Council Chitral.
However, the transfer and distribution of these assets, particularly the former District Council offices and Town Hall, had remained pending for a considerable period.
The handover was completed today on the special directions of the Deputy Commissioner Lower Chitral, bringing an end to a long-standing issue concerning the ownership and administrative control of the buildings.
The transfer is expected to facilitate the administrative management and utilisation of the former District Council’s properties under the TMA Chitral.
The TMA Chitral has expressed gratitude to the Deputy Commissioner Lower Chitral and the Assistant Commissioner Headquarters for their special interest and cooperation in resolving the long-pending matter.
Officials associated with the TMA described the handover as an important step towards ensuring the proper management of public assets and strengthening the administrative functions of the municipal administration in Chitral.
