Local Government System 2001-2009

In 2001, as a part of devolution plan, provincial governments promulgated their respective Local Government Ordinances 2001 to operationalize the devolution plan, providing a legal and constitutional backing to the new local government system which was altogether different both in tone and tenor from the previous Local governments introduced from time to time. The main difference in LGO 2001 and other system was that it introduced three tiers of LG i.e., district, tehsil, and union administration. Urban and Rural divide was abolished under LGO, 2001.
