KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly session on Friday approved Sindh Local Government Act (amended) 2013.

The session considered the approval of two recently promulgated ordinances to amend the act amid opposition protest.

The two ordinances Sindh Local Government (Second Amendment) Ordinance, 2013, and Sindh Local Government (Third Amendment) Ordinance, 2013 were brought in the house for approval well before the expiry of their 90-day constitutional life.

The provincial government has earned the ire of the main opposition parties, which have accused the ruling party of “unlawful and unconstitutional” moves to obtain favourable results in the upcoming local bodies’ polls.
