‘Literature Survey’
LOCAL GOV’T SYSTEM
In Pakistan Local government system or nazim system was introduced under General Musharraf rule. Although the purpose of introduction of the system was to strong the presidential position but it turned out to be good for the people as well. District nazim who were selected by the people and they also belonged to the respected areas, were doing their jobs for the people and their towns very smoothly. It is not that all the people and the parties are agreed on the system. There are some big names politicians are objected on the system and they think this system introduced just to empower a military dictator. The dispute is to use or avoid the system.
Commissionerate System
In this condition an administrator would be appointed by the federal gov’t and the situation of Karachi would be five districts: Karachi East, Karachi South, Karachi West, Karachi Central and Malir. The status of Hyderabad will also revert to its pre-2001 state. Now, again issued an ordinance for restoration of Local Government Authority of 2001 state.
LOCAL GOV’T SYSTEM IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
Local government in the United States refers to the general-purpose Governments at the county, city, town, or township level and special-purpose Governments, which include special districts and school districtsLocal government is the lowest level in the system of government in Malaysia— after federal and state. It has the power to collect taxes (in the form of assessment tax), to create laws and rules (in the form of by-laws) and to grant licenses and permits for any trade in its area of jurisdiction, in addition to providing basic amenities, collecting and managing waste and garbage as well as planning and developing the area under its jurisdiction.
In India the local government is the third level of government apart from the State and Central governments. There are two types of Local Government in operation: Panchayats in rural areas and Municipalities in urban areas. The Panchayats are a linked-system of local bodies with village panchayats (average population about 5,000), panchayat sanities at the intermediate level (average population about 100,000), and district pancakes (average population about 1,000,000).
