Federal Administration Ziarat
District Administration: In the district's administration, the central position is held by the Deputy Commissioner. He is head of the revenue administration and overall co-ordinating head of all provincial government offices located in the district. His jurisdiction of authority / influence in fact extends to all state establishments which he can mobilise / activate to carry out his functions as head of the district's administration. He is responsible for revenue collection, is custodian of law and order as well as of private and public property. He is a major medium of communication between local bodies and government bodies at district and divisional level. As such, and also as he is chairman of the district development coordination committee (though now dormant) and member of the divisional development coordination committee, he is in a position to play an important role in the socio-economic development of the district. His effectiveness in this sphere of activity has, however, been adversely affected by the government policy with regard to allocation of development grants to MPAs/MNAs/ Senators and the development schemes approval procedure. In this latter respect, the Deputy Commissioner's recommendation is neither sought nor given due weight with the result that development grants to the District's MPAs/MNAs etc were just frittered away in the recent past in this district.
