Pakistani President Mamnoon Hussain on 31 May signed the Constitution (Thirty-First) Amendment Bill, 2018, that handed over control of the ‘Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Interim Governance Regulation, 2018’ to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) provincial government. The Regulation is a set of interim rules applicable to the FATA until it is finally merged with KPK province within two years. The Pakistan National Assembly, Senate and KPK Assembly had passed the amendment bill prior to sending it to the President for formal approval.
