An official notification said that South Waziristan had been divided into two districts; South Waziristan Upper and South Waziristan Lower.
The decision has been taken under the Land Revenue Act, 1967.
According to the notification, the South Waziristan Upper will comprise two sub divisions – Sarwakai and Ladha. Spinkai Raghazai has been notified as the headquarters of newly-created Upper district. Tiarza, Serwakai, Shawal, Ladha, Makin, Shaktui and Sararogha have been made tehsils of South Waziristan Upper.
Wana has been declared as the headquarters of Ahmadzai Wazir tribe-dominated South Waziristan Lower district. The lower district comprises one sub-division (Wana) and four tehsils, including Wana, Shakai, Tolkhela and Birmal.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa now has 36 districts with the bifurcation of South Waziristan.
