PESHAWAR: Government of NWFP has decided not to take part in the next meeting of National Finance Commission (NFC) scheduled to be held in Karachi on November 18, said the government sources on Saturday.

The NWFP government has not yet received the payment of Rs10 billion as announced by the Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani to clear the electricity dues and this has prompted the NWFP government?s decision to stay out of the next NFC meeting in Karachi, source said.

Another reason for the decision is that the NWFP government had demanded of the federation in the previous meetings of NFC to increase by 5 percent the amount of money provided for tackling terrorism but so far there is no progress in this regard, source said.
