One per cent of the provincial administration. 2. Water engineer responsible for water matters in that constituency or his or her designated representative. 3. Five representatives of the Constituency Development Fund Committee. 4. One representative each for the youth and women respectively. 5. The Chairmanship of the said Committee shall be from category (3) of membership and category (2) shall be the secretary to the Committee."
