July 9, 2021 Rawalpindi : While blaming the Punjab government for committing contempt of the court, the elected local bodies representatives headed by Mayor Sardar Naseem Khan Thursday broke the locks of the Metropolitan Corporation Rawalpindi (MCR) office and took over the charge with force. The sitting government of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) dissolved local governments in the federal capital, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in February this year and despite a detailed judgment on the restoration of local government in Punjab by the Supreme Court two days back, no step has been taken to restore it. The situation at MCR turned ugly when Mayor Sardar Naseem Khan along with elected representatives of the local body from the treasury and opposition benches reached the office of MCR to take over the charge. However, they were denied entry by the staff of MCR that cited receiving no orders whatsoever from the Punjab government regarding restoration of local government.
