Islamabad: The survey was conducted on multiple platforms as well as on different bases as Dunya News found most Pakistanis on its side over the matter of new administrative units across the country. As many as 76% of respondents from YouTube supported the change, 71% from X, and 80% from the Dunya News website. Opposers stood at 18%, and 2% rejected the idea and didn’t participate in the poll either.
These findings also show a higher demand for the restructuring of Pakistan’s administrative divisions. A lot of people believe that change can solve the pressing problems that currently plague the nation, which include lack of adequate education, unavailability of jobs, proper health care facilities, water and electricity shortages, peace, and inflation. The new administrative units are expected to decentralize power to push the local governance to address the demands of its people.
Even though the whole public accepts the idea, several critics still don’t buy into it: generating newer units and bureaucracy rather than dealing with the basic issues. Without plans, without resources, and without proper management, this program cannot be a success.
The opinion polled reflects the clear desire of Pakistanis for a change in the governance model of the country. In fact, most people believe that reforms in the administration that give power to local communities may significantly enhance the delivery of public services and infrastructure development.
All these discourses will gain more steam going forward as more and more people see the emergence of new administrative units as an influx to hold better governance and to have socioeconomic development in Pakistan. Now, only time will tell how the government and opposition would react to this public demand and if they would come out and do something concrete towards bringing about these much-needed changes.
