AND WHEREAS the Federal Government has drafted a National Explosives Policy to monitor and regulate the subject matter at Federal level but to approve the National Explosives Policy, it is required that the subject “explosives” may be transferred back to the Federation and thus has requested to initiate the transfer the subject “explosives” to the Federation for formation and subsequent implementation of the National Explosives Policy and to make amendments in the Explosives Act, 1884 at Federal level.
AND WHEREAS after 18th Amendment in the Constitution, the subject “explosives” falls within the provincial legislative field and the Parliament can enact a law if one or more Provincial Assemblies pass Resolution to authorize the Parliament under Article 144 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973;
AND WHEREAS keeping in view the apprehension and request of the Federal Government, it is expedient in the public interest to authorize the Parliament to enact/amend the law;
