Now it is a question of when. I would say within the next 6 months.

Not a fan of this idea in general
Punjab is doing fine as is, dividing it further would only lead to more mini sindhs and fuedalism
That's the case in every province
Northern KPK keeps the southern weirdos in check
Northern Punjab outweighs the power of fuedal elites of South Punjab thus keeping them in check
Northern Balochistan keeps Baloch nationalism from gaining too much ground

It only doesn't work in Sindh because fuedals have more power than the city folks

We need to find a solution for Sindh by giving power and resources to metros
Do that in other provinces too

But you don't need to create new provinces.

Or re-institute the local-bodies structure in letter and spirit by empowering them without any influence/hand-wringing by provincial governments and you can solve this issue.

Unfortunately, the provincial governments have not been willing to do that so we are at another impasse now.

My only concern would be the overhead cost of managing governments across however many provinces they want. The principle of devolving power to smaller sub-provinces makes logical sense. Unfortunately some people are beholden to the 4 provinces as if those were revealed to us via a divine revelation.
