LAHORE: The Pakistani province of Punjab will be divided into two administrative units, government sources told Geo News on Monday.


An Additional Secretary for South Punjab and an Additional Chief Secretary for Central Punjab will be appointed to look after public interests and problems in the respective divisions.


According to sources, rescue services will be transferred from the home secretary to the additional chief secretary's domain.


Former Additional Secretary Pervaiz Masood while talking to Geo News, appreciated the development, adding that it would be beneficial for the masses.


He said that it would help in dispelling sense of deprivation among the people of south Punjab.


Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Shaukat Basra termed it a ‘cosmetic measure’, saying that only a separate province would eliminate the problems of faced by the people of south Punjab.


“What authority would an Additional Chief Secretary possess? We demand two separate provinces, he added.


He further said that these were just election tactics.

It should be rather 3 provinces and each would get as an average 50 NA seats as currently Punjab has 148 NA seats.

After the merger of FATA with KP, KP would also have 46 seats.....

And Sindh would have 68 seats..

Each division should be an administrative unit. Two admimistrative units wont help much.
