South Punjab Province
Proposed province of Pakistan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Punjab (Punjabi, Saraiki, Urdu: جنوبی پنجاب),[1][2] also proposed as Bahawalpur-South Punjab or Saraikistan,[3] are the names for the proposals to create a new so called province in Pakistan, out of the southern regions of Punjab.[4] The region comprises the Bahawalpur, Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan divisions.[5][6][7] The proposed province would form about 52 percent of the total area and almost 40 percent of the population of the current Punjab province.[8][9]
