Tribal Areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan (FATA, PATA and Frontier Region) are
now-a-days under focus in national and international geo-political strategies. To avoid
any future disturbance in the region after Pakistan army’s operation Zarb-e-Azb,
suggestions are circulating of amalgamating this region with the province of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa or creating a new province comprising of the said areas. But very few of us
know that in the past it remained part of a province which was the province of West
Pakistan (1955-1970) comprised of all the territories of today’s Pakistan. The Province of
West Pakistan, for administrative purpose, was divided into Divisions. The former
province of North-West Frontier was comprised of two Divisions: Peshawar and Dera
Ismail Khan under the charge of Commissioners. At the dissolution of West Pakistan
Province (March 1970) three provinces of the region were reinstated and Balochistan was
created as a full-fledged province as well and only the Tribal Area of North West was
returned to the Federal authority.
