Will Pakistan Get New Provinces?
Assalam.o.Alaikum!Kesay hai sab community members? Umeed hain ky sab bilkul theek hogy. Jesa ky ap sab ny me ajkal news me new provinces sy related debate suni hogi. Ajkal ye hmara national level par aik hot topic hai. Kch analyst ky according Pakistan jo ky 5th most populated country hai world ka or itni zeada population ky pass sirf four provinces hai jo ky administrative or governace failure ka Pakistan me shyd sb sy bari reason hai.
How can Pakistan create new provinces according to its consitution?Hmari constitution ka article
239(4) new provinces ki creation ko deal krta hai. Esky according es debate ko
Two-Third majority sy support milna zruri hai senate, National Assembly, and provincial assembly sy.
Ye constitutional condition Pakistan me new provinces ki creation ko politically difficult bnati hai ku ky hmari provincial assemblies apni territorial area or power ko reduce krny me reluctance show krty hai.
What sparked the debate in 2026?Hmary federal Interior minister Mohsin Naqvi ny Pakistan economic summit par ye tajveez paish ki hai. Unky mutabiq hmary current governace system inefficient hai. Enho ny apni tajveez me har provice ko three parts me divide krny ka idea dea hain.
1-North administrative region
2-South administrative region
3- Central administrative region
Es sy better service delivery hogi or grass root level ko issues ko sort out krna bhi asan ho jy ga. For example, Jab
Lahore ki district koi bhi decision leti hai to uska direct impact
Rajhanpur jesy areas par bhi hota hai jo ky 600km ky distance par hai Lahore sy. Es trha Lahore ki administration ko rajhanpur ky logon ky issues ka grass root level par deal krna difficult hojata hai es lye hmary orovince ko 3 administrative regions me divide krny ki tajveez paish ki gyi hai.
Es trha hkary youth, jo ky more than 60% Pakistan ki population par mushtamil hain, unko bhi opportunities mil jy gi.
An Alternative Solution:AKch critiques new provinces ki debate ko oppose krty howey ye tajveez paish kr rahy hain ky Pakistan ko article-
140 ko strongly implement kr ky aony local government ky structure ko mazboot krna chaiye jesa ky
China and France me strong local governance hain.
Let see ky kon c tajveez qabool hoti hai. Apki kia suggestion hai ky new provinces bny ya phir local governance ko strong krna chaiye?
kindly share your suggestion.
