On June 15, 2026, the local government in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province made a big request to the federal government in Islamabad.

What is Provincial Autonomy? Pakistan is divided into different provinces, and the constitution gives each province the right to manage its own local resources. This is called "provincial autonomy."

What Do They Want? KP has a lot of valuable minerals, like marble and gemstones, hidden in its mountains. The KP Assembly passed a resolution asking the federal government to let the province collect the taxes and money from these mines instead of sending it to the capital.

Why It Matters: When the local government controls its own resources, it can use that money to build better schools, hospitals, and roads for the people living right there. It ensures that the wealth of the land directly helps the local communities.
