Question: When was FATA merged into KPK?
Correct Answer: C. 2018
Explanation: FATA was merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) on May 24, 2018.
Background
The merger aimed to integrate the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) into KPK, providing the region with the same legal and administrative framework as the rest of the province.
This change followed the 25th Constitutional Amendment, which abolished the special status of FATA.
Implications
The merger allows residents of the former FATA to access the same rights and services as other KPK citizens.
It also facilitates the implementation of provincial laws and governance structures in the region.
