14 newborns lost their lives in the PIMS fire. But can this tragedy really be used as an argument for creating new provinces? Ahmed Bilal Mehboob looks at the debate and asks whether the real issue is administrative boundaries—or failures of governance, safety and accountability.

Take a moment to reflect on your contribution big or small and the role you play in shaping the country you call home. PILDAT and Youth Parliament Pakistan® wish you a very Happy 79th Independence Day. Pakistan Zindabad! 🇵🇰 #IndependenceDay #Pakistan #79thIndependenceDay #14August #Youth #PILDAT #YouthParliamentPakistan

In this episode of Pakistan Today, @ABMPildat examines whether Pakistan needs to replace its existing parliamentary system with a presidential model, particularly when executive authority already rests with the Prime Minister. What would a presidential system actually change and is changing Pakistan’s system of government the answer to its governance challenges?

What can Pakistan learn from the United States about creating new provinces? In this episode of Pakistan Today, @ABMPildat examines how the United States approached the creation of new states and discusses what Pakistan can learn about representation, governance, and strengthening its federal structure.
