Political Situation edit
In terms of political leadership, unfortunately however this region has not got any sincere representative who could truly think of the problems and difficulties faced by general masses. Culture of politics till date revolves around family politics and tribe loyalty instead of vision-based. Even in recent general elections of 2018, people preferred the same family and caste politics and elected the year old tested and in-effective political leadership. However, with the new government in the provincial assembly, there is chance of seeing a positive local bodies governing system.
