SANGHAR: The councillors-elect from Sanghar district took the oath at two ceremonies held in the auditoriums of the Pir Sibghatullah Shah Rashdi Govt Degree College here on Saturday.

First Additional Sessions Judge, Sanghar, administered the oath.

In all, 73 district council members and as many union council members, chairmen and vice-chairmen of the district and union councils, as well as members of four municipal committees and 11 town committees took the oath at the ceremonies.

Due to poor arrangements witnessed at the auditorium for such a large number of elected representatives, as many as six councillors had to sit on each of the bench meant for four persons.
