Government Organization Ziarat
Conclusion and major Development Issues
The local and provincial government organizations in this district are facing a number of problems. The problem of insufficiency of funds is common to all departments, especially to union councils and other local bodies. Proper office space is not available, and government officials from outside Ziarat are facing serious problems of residential accommodation.
In the winter season most of the government officials are not found in their seats. The exceptions are the Deputy Commissioner, the Police, and other officials who are directly under the Deputy Commissioner/Police Chief or who are supposed to be in close liaison with them. There is a lack of working relations between the local bodies and the government departments on the one hand, and also between the various government departments on the other hand. The Deputy Commissioner is supposed to be the overall administrator of the district and co-ordinator of all government and local government organizations. He, however, does not have the necessary administrative authority over the line departments and the police. Therefore, the government departments in the district are not working as efficiently as they should. However, their overall performance is still fairly satisfactory.
Thus the major issues in this district are lack of funds for government/local bodies, problems of inadequate offices and residential facilities; lack of co-ordination between government and non-government agencies, and a decrease in the authority of the Deputy Commissioner.
Women are completely out of any kind of public or political activity. This is a major concern from a development perspective.
