Islamabad: Regions and tribal areas which were in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) have been redesigned as districts and subdivisions of Khyber Pakhtunwa (KPK), according to a news report. This was decided at a meeting for the review of the proposed FATA reforms.
The posts of political agents and assistant political agents were also redesigned as deputy commissioners (DCs) and assistant commissioners (ACs). This meeting was presided over by caretaker Prime Minister Nasirul Mulk, who also discussed draft plans for expanding the reach of the judiciary, police, prosecution, and prison services in these regions. The bill which merged FATA with KPK was passed and signed into law in a smooth-sailing process.
