In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 75.3 percent expressed support, while 74 percent of respondents in Islamabad favored the creation of new provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Balochistan, 71.3 percent of young respondents supported the proposal, while Sindh recorded 59.3 percent support, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey showed comparatively lower support in Gilgit-Baltistan, where 41 percent of respondents favored the creation of new provinces. In Azad Jammu and Kashmir, 36 percent expressed support, while a majority opposed the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also highlighted differences in public opinion across districts, with some areas showing significantly higher levels of support and others reporting a more divided response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings reflect the
