Sultan Ahmed. | 14 years ago | Reply I am still failed to understand the behave of the Punjab government in connection with Local Body election. Local body election is a essential part of its manifesto why it refrain holding such election. Now it has to decide within seven days that is enough time it can be announced with two days because everything is already prepared.
