The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)

                                       The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)

 The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is a semi-autonomous tribal region in north western pakistan, bording, Pakistan's provinces of khyber pakhtunkhuwa and Balochistan to the east and south, and Afghanistan's province of Kunar' Nagarhar, Paktia, Khost and Paktika to the west and north.

The FATA comprises seven tribal agencies (districts) and six frontier regions which are directly governed by Pakistan's Federal Government through a  special set of laws called the Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR). 

The territory is almost exclusively inhabited by the pashtuns, who also live in the neighbouring khyber pakhtunkhuwa and Aghanistan. They are Muslims by faith. Main towns of this territory are parachinar, Miranshah, Razmak, Kaniguram, Wana, kalaya, Landi, Kotal, Ghalanai and Khaar.

The total population of FATA was estimated in 2000 to be about 3,341,070 people, or roughly 2% of pakistan's population. Only 3.1% of the population resides in established townships. It is thus the most rural administrative unit in pakistan. The Governer of KPK exercise the federal authority with the context of FATA.

The FATA is the most improverished part of the nation. Due to FATA tribal organization, the economy is chiefly pastoral with some agriculture, practiced in the region's few fertile valley. It has also proved commercially viable reserves of marble, copper, limestone and coal. However , in the current socio-political conditions, there is no chance of their mining in a profitable manner. 

Water is scarce in FATA . When the British forces occupied Malakand, they started work on the Amandara headworks to diver the Swat river through a tunnel to irrigate the plains of Mardan and Charsadda. FATA do not have a university, but seats are reserved for FATA's students in pakistani Universities. There is no concrete plan to establish a full fledged university in FATA. There is no bed hospital for every 2, 179 people in FATA.

Compared to one, FATA produced world class players like Cricketer Shahid Khan Afridi from khyber Agency and Squash player Maria Toorpakay Wazir from south Waziristan. who won the National Women's Squash Championship in 2010.

What Are the Two Planets That Don't Get Solar or Lunar Eclipses?

  What Are the Two Planets That Don't Get Solar or Lunar Eclipses? As Earth and the moon revolve around the sun, they periodically align with the sun in such a way that Earth moves into the moon's shadow and vice versa. Known as eclipses, these are spectacular events for observers on Earth. But they cannot occur on Mercury or Venus: Neither planet has a moon. Eclipses on the other planets in our solar system are possible but probably different than those on Earth. Mercury The first planet in the solar system, Mercury, is closer to the sun than Earth by more than half. From Mercury's surface, the sun appears three times as large as it does from Earth. If Mercury had a moon, it would have to be large enough to cover that disk for observers on the planet's surface to experience a solar eclipse. Such a moon, unless it were very close to the planet, would probably have to be larger than Mercury itself. Thirteen times every century, Earth falls into Mercury's shadow as it...
