Currently, Pakistan is subdivided into four provinces, two territories, and also portions of Kashmir that are administered by the Pakistani government. ==Local Governments== The provinces are divided into a total of 105 ''zillas'' (Districts.) A ''zilla'' is further subdivided into ''tehsils'' (roughly equivalent to counties.) Tehsils may contain villages or municipalities. There are over five thousand local governments in Pakistan. Since 2001, the vast majority of these have been led by democratically elected local councils, each headed by a ''Nazim'' (the word means "supervisor" in Urdu, but is sometimes translated as "mayor.") ==Provinces and territories== Provinces: # Balochistan, Pakistan # North West Frontier Province, Pakistan # Punjab Province # Sindh Territories: Pakistani-administered portions of Kashmir region: ==History== In the 1960s, Pakistan was simply divided into two "units" of East Pakistan and West Pakistan. After East Pakistan became independent as Bangladesh, West Pakistan reverted to a system with four provinces. The provinces consisted of subunits called "divisions", which were further subdivided into districts, tehsils, and villages or municipalities. In August 2000, Pervez Musharraf's local government reforms abolished the "division" as an administrative tier. A system of local government councils was established, with the first elections being held in 2001. Since the 2001 Local Government Ordinances, Pakistan has embarked on a radical restructuring of the local government system. The government is implementing a devolution plan which, in its words, "follows the principle of subsidiarity, whereby all functions that can be effectively performed at the local level are transferred to that level. This has meant the decentralization to the districts and tehsils of many functions previously handled by the provincial governments." ==Related articles== *Districts of Pakistan ==External links== === Provincial government websites === *Punjab: http://www.punjab.gov.pk *Sindh: http://www.sindh.gov.pk/index.shtml *NWFP: http://www.nwfp.gov.pk *Balochistan http://www.balochistan.gov.pk/ === Federal government websites relating to local governments === *Decentralization Support Program: http://www.decentralization.org.pk/ *National Reconstruction Bureau: http://www.nrb.gov.pk/ Pakistan Geography of Pakistan Subdivisions of Pakistan

which should be a standard HTML command to do a numbered list with an offset. So this must be a bug in your browser that it ignores the "start" command. User:Ahoerstemeier 09:08, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
