  • Local Government System in Pakistan
    THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IN paKistan COUNTRY PROFILE 2017–18 PAKISTAN SUMMARY Pakistan is a federal republic with three tiers of government: national, provincial and local. Local government is protected by the constitution in Articles 32 and 140-A, and each province also has its own local-government-enabling legislation and ministries responsible for implementation. District councils and metropolitan corporations are respectively the highest rural and urban tiers of local government in the provinces. Both urban and rural local government have two or three tiers in all provinces except Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where councils are not identified as either urban or rural. There are 129 district councils across the four provinces, 619 urban councils made up of one city district, four metropolitan corporations, 13 municipal corporations, 96 municipal committees, 148 town councils, 360 urban union committees, and 1,925 rural councils. Additionally there are 3339 neighbourhood, ‘tehsil’ and village councils in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Ability to raise local revenue varies according to provincial legislation. District councils and metropolitan corporations have significant responsibilities, often jointly with either higher provincial government – eg for policing (union guards), education, healthcare, roads and local economic development – or with lower levels of local government – eg for water and sanitation, museums and libraries and environmental protection. 1.

Phil Pakistan Studies, Al-Khair University, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Bhimber. E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 15 May 2017 Federal Administered Tribal Area (FATA) considered a backward area of Pakistan. The residents of FATA were against western culture and education before military operation Zarb-e-Azb (Zeb). Unemployment made a big cause for the terrorism culture in this area. Local terrorist groups like as Tahrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, Haqqani Network and some groups of Al-Qaida forced the residents for waging war against Pakistan military forces. FATA was the heavenly place for the shelter of terrorists after 9/11 incident. After military Operation Zeb, Terrorism has decreased than the last three years. Military forces have successfully restored the writ of the state and numbers of terrorists and their facilitators killed and arrested in this operation. The aim of this study is finding the role of Pakistan military forces for the restoration of the writ of State after operation Zarb-e-Azb in FATA. This study will also show the effects of terrorism on the residents of FATA. During this research, it was found that Federal government failed for the provision of basic needs of the residents of FATA.
