MARDAN: The Tehsil Municipal Officer (TMO) Mardan asked former mayor Himayatullah Mayar to surrender the official vehicle and residence.Sources said that the TMO Mardan issued a notice after it came to light that the former mayor was still using facilities even after the end of his term as mayor.

The notice instructed the former mayor to surrender the official residence, warning him of legal consequences should he fail to comply. Nevertheless, Himayatullah Mayar managed to obtain a stay order against the notice from the court.
