UPPER DIR : The Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) Dir is facing a severe financial crisis, and the provincial government has not released funds for the past two years. As a result, the TMA has been unable to pay the salaries of its employees, and the municipal services have come to a standstill. The chairman of the Tehsil Council, Rifiullah Khan, expressed his concerns at a press conference, saying that the provincial government has betrayed the people by not releasing funds for the TMA. He warned that if the funds are not released before Eid, the people of Dir will stage a protest, and the TMA will be forced to shut down its services completely. He also threatened to approach the courts and the federal government to seek justice for the people of Dir.
