If creating more provinces leads to more hatred and instability then why not keep the 4 provinces but instead copy similar system to China. All Pakistan needs to do is devolve the power to local government, keep funds away from MNAs and MPAs.
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.
