Northern Areas Of Pakistan.

The Northern Areas , officially referred to by the government of Pakistan as the Federally Administered Northern Areas (FANA), is the northernmost political entity within the Pakistani-controlled part of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. It borders Pakistan to the west, Afghanistan to the north, China to the northeast, the Pakistani-controlled state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) to the south, and the present-day Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir to the southeast. The Northern Areas, which became a single administrative unit in 1970, was formed from the amalgamation of the Gilgit Agency, the Baltistan district of Ladakh Wazarat, and the states of Hunza and Nagar. According to Pakistan's constitution, the Northern Areas is not part of Pakistan, and its inhabitants have never had any representation in Pakistan's parliament. To this day, the Northern Areas remains part of the Kashmir dispute and is claimed by India to be a Pakistani-occupied part of the present-day state of Jammu and Kashmir.
