MOHALI:

The unrest escalated after 18 councillors submitted a written request to the executive officer of the municipal council, seeking a special meeting to introduce a no-confidence motion against president Longia.

The councillors invoked provisions of the Punjab Municipal Act and urged the executive officer to convene the meeting without delay to discuss and vote on the motion.

The letter, signed collectively by the councillors, cites a loss of confidence in her leadership and claims that she no longer enjoys majority support. If passed, the motion could lead to a change in leadership in the Kharar municipal council. As per the established procedure, the president will be given an opportunity to prove her majority during the session.
