General Ayub Khan:
Field Marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan, HPk, NPk, HJ, MBE (Urdu: محمد ایوب خان; 14 May 1907 – 19 April 1974), was the second president of Pakistan. He was an army general who seized the presidency from Iskander Mirza in a coup in 1958, the first successful coup d'état in the country's history. Popular demonstrations and labour strikes supported by the protests in East Pakistan ultimately led to his forced resignation in 1969. During his presidency, differences between East and West Pakistan arose to an enormous degree, that ultimately lead to Independence of East Pakistan.

In November 1961, the project's selected contractors were revealed; it was announced that Binnie & Partners, a British engineering firm, was going to serve as the lead designers, engineers, and inspectors for the construction of the dam (led by Geoffrey Binnie). The project was undertaken by a consortium known as the Mangla Dam Contractors,[2] which consisted of eight American construction firms sponsored by the Guy F. Atkinson Company based in South San Francisco, California.[3]

These basic Democrats were basically democratically elected public representatives who served in the Divisional, District, Tehsil or Union councils.
