Malakand Agency information


Malakand Agency in the North-West Frontier Province

The Malakand Agency (Pashto: ملاکنډ ایجنسيۍ) was one of the agencies in the North West Frontier Province of British India and later of Pakistan until 2010.[1] It included the princely states of Chitral, Dir and Swat, and an area around the Malakand Pass known as the Malakand Protected Area.[2] The largest city in the area was Mingora, while the three state capitals were Chitral, Dir, and Saidu Sharif. In 1970, following the abolition of the princely states, the agency became the Malakand Division, which was divided into districts, one of which was the Malakand Protected Area, known as Malakand District. In 2000 the Malakand Division was abolished. Despite the constitutional changes since 1970, the expression Malakand Agency is still used, sometimes of the entire area of the former Agency, but more often of Malakand District.
