I think new province was political stunt by Generals. They target something else.

اس فوج نے اکہتر میں اچھے خاصے صوبے کا ملک بنا دیا تھا صوبے تے شے ای کوئی نہیں
فوج صوبے بنانا چاہتی ہے ، عمران خان صوبے بنانے پر رضامند ہے ۔ اسکے باوجود بہنوں سے ملاقات نہیں ہوسکتی۔ بیٹوں سے بات نہیں ہوسکتی۔ منصوبے ٹھیک بنتے نہیں صوبے بنائیں گے۔​

Pakistan needs smaller non ethnic based administrative units.

One reason can be to reduce power of provisional governments. CM of 120m or 80m population v 30m population is more flexible.

More importantly PPP will never give up some form of control of Karachi.
The amount of criminal corrupt enterprise that is run from Karachi for Zardaris rivals what the establishment mafia's various rotating faces do.

PPP is unhappy, they do not want division of Sindh.
Pakistan can keep 4 provinces but copy China style system, China has provinces with population 120m 100m etc and theyre doing well. Will our politicians give up control of financial power.

China's Guangdong province has 126 million people and Henan has nearly 100 million, China operates on a five-tier administrative system:

1. Central Government
2. Provincial Level (22 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities)
3. Prefecture Level (~330 units)
4. County Level (~2,800 units)
5. Township/Town Level (~40,000 units)
Why it works: In China, provincial governments do not handle day-to-day municipal matters. Prefecture-level cities and counties hold massive regulatory power, keep significant tax revenue, and run local policing, schools, and infrastructure directly. The provincial capital exists mainly for macro-coordination, not micromanagement.
