the administration of the province and the implementation
of laws. Critical areas managed by provincial governments
include healthcare, education up to the intermediate
level, agriculture, infrastructure development, and local
governance. Additionally, provinces play a crucial role in
transfering powers to local government bodies, ensuring
effective grassroots governance.

 Local government bodies, including city or district governments,
play a vital role in delivering essential services and managing
local affairs across Pakistan.
 These bodies are responsible for providing municipal services
such as water supply, sanitation, waste management, and
urban infrastructure development.
 They also engage in urban planning activities, including
zoning regulations and building codes, to ensure sustainable
development and orderly growth of urban areas. Community
development initiatives, revenue collection through property
taxes are other key functions performed by local government
bodies. Overall, they serve as a crucial link between the
government and citizens, facilitating governance at the
grassroots level.
