Asim Munir seeks to redraw Pakistan's map by splitting four provinces into 15 states

Pakistan's Army chief Asim Munir reportedly wants to divide the country's four provinces into 12 to 15 smaller ones.
The plan could split Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan into smaller regions with separate governments.
Supporters say smaller provinces could make it easier to manage local problems and deliver government services.
Critics fear dividing the provinces could weaken political parties and give Pakistan's military more power.
