The chairman said the other three members were the Members of the Provincial Assembly (MPAs), namely Shamim Akhtar, Rai Mansab Ali and Mirza Furqan Mughal. He said some changes had been introduced in the composition of the commission. The total number of members was being reduced from 11 to nine and its tenure being increased from one year to three years, he added.
He said when the commission consisted of nine members, three members would be taken from each category ie nazims, independents and Member of Provincial Assembly (MPAs).
Increasing the tenure of the commission indicated that it was serving the purpose of its creation and redressing the grievances of the people effectively, he said.
