However, a PML-N councillor Ahmad Yar Khan snubbed him, saying that government would do whatever it wished.After the PML-N leader remarks the opposition and treasury members exchanged harsh words but Tehsil Nazim Khuram Khan Swati settled the issue.

A member of PML-N from city Raja Ayaz criticised Tehsil government, saying though a contractor who achieved bidding for pavements shops at Larti Adda had been receiving the fee without the approval of council which was illegal and liable for accountability. He said that Tehsil government failed to enforce the resolution approved by the council.
