Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) President Abdul Aleem Khan said on Sunday that Punjab should be divided into three or four provinces, and that creating more provinces would harm no one.
Addressing a workers’ convention in Faisalabad, he said that central, southern and northern Punjab should be formed as separate provinces so that people may obtain essential services closer to home.
He said that many citizens must travel long distances for basic needs, which creates unnecessary hardship.
The IPP chief added that such facilities should not be limited to Punjab alone but must also be ensured in Balochistan.

The federal minister said that appeals would be made to all government allies and to every chief minister to act on this proposal. He said that Sindh should also be divided into northern, southern and central Sindh.
Aleem Khan maintained that providing justice at people’s doorsteps is the party’s mission.
He said that Faisalabad is a major city yet has no High Court bench. Meanwhile, the federal minister announced that the Faisalabad–Pindi Bhattian Motorway would be expanded from four to six lanes.
He added that work on the Faisalabad–Lahore GT Road would begin soon.
