Islamabad: In the context of the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the federal government has decided to increase the powers of Governor Faisal Karim Kundi, for which preparations are being made to issue a new ordinance.
A private TV report quoted government sources as saying that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has sent the proposed ordinance regarding the powers of the governor in a state of emergency to President Asif Ali Zardari.

It is being said that the President will soon issue this ordinance on the advice of the Prime Minister.

Under the proposed legal measure, the governor will get more powers than before during the implementation of the emergency. In addition, the administrative powers of Governor Faisal Karim Kundi will also be increased with respect to 12 special districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Government sources say that the session of the National Assembly has been rescheduled due to the issue of issuing the proposed ordinance, because the ordinance cannot be issued after the session of the National Assembly is convened.
