Published On 24 Apr, 2026
Simple News Explanation:
Pakistan’s National Assembly has passed a new amendment in the law related to the National School of Public Policy (NSPP).
This law mainly changes who has authority in appointments and decision-making.
What This New Law Says

Now Chief Ministers of each province will have authority in certain matters
