From protests over unpaid wages to a renewed spirit of public service, from darkened streets to well-lit towns, Lakki Marwat's transformation is a story of vision, resilience, and reform.

Once plagued by financial crises and inefficiency, the district's administrative machinery, led by its dynamic Deputy Commissioner Hameedullah Khan, is now steering a powerful turnaround that is setting new standards in local governance.

Every rupee earned, every lease signed, and every service delivered now stands as proof that when leadership is visionary and governance is practical, even fragile institutions can evolve into engines of progress.

Among these institutions is the once-struggling Sarai Naurang Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA), now showing strong signs of revival through the implementation of the new provincial lease policy. Previously, the TMA had leased out 451 shops and structures across different locations, generating only Rs. 8.5 million annually - insufficient even for routine expenditures. Under the new lease policy, however, annual revenues are projected to rise to around Rs. 110 million, marking a historic financial turnaround.

Years of limited revenue had left the TMA dependent on provincial grants, forcing its employees to stage repeated protests over unpaid salaries. But with the new policy in place, this dependence is being replaced with a model of self-reliance and fiscal empowerment.

“The era of dependency is ending. Lakki Marwat is scripting a new chapter of self-sufficiency and sustainable governance,” remarked Deputy Commissioner Hameedullah Khan during a meeting focused on strengthening the district's TMAs.
As chairperson of the Lease Committee, the Deputy Commissioner convened a crucial meeting to reassess and revise lease rates under the new framework. The process, already underway, is expected to be completed within a month, setting the stage for a more self-sustaining local government system.
The anticipated surge in revenue is expected to not only rejuvenate local administrations but also enhance their capacity to deliver essential civic services, from cleaner streets and improved lighting to efficient waste management and community development projects.
The Deputy Commissioner's leadership has also drawn strong provincial backing, particularly in environmental and sanitation reforms. Through sustained advocacy and coordination, the district administration has launched an ambitious Clean and Green campaign that has transformed local service delivery:
356 janitors deployed across 94 village councils
170 tricycle carts introduced for door-to-door waste collection
94 loader rickshaws now operational across town roads

Sanitation workers equipped with modern tools and safety gear
This strong collaboration between the local administration and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government ensures that no part of the district is left behind.
Through teamwork, reform, and unwavering commitment, Lakki Marwat stands today as a symbol of progress and resilience - proving that when intent aligns with action, transformation is not only possible but inevitable.
