What happened

Why it matters
The federal government's commitment of substantial financial aid and its consideration of administrative control demonstrates a significant political and fiscal effort toward the province. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif criticized the provincial government's handling of terrorism, stating that the provincial government had focused on long marches rather than development.
The government structure in Pakistan includes provincial representation in high-level meetings and oversees national food security and market stability.
