Questions
No. It is Sir Adnan's 'Pakistan National Policies - Approved Year (GK)' one-liner booklet from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack, published as paperType 'practice', never as a past paper. The year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.
Nine items were dropped because no approved policy with the booklet's year could be verified: Agriculture 2013, Industrial 2011, Child Protection 2009 and Fisheries 2007 were drafts that were never approved or adopted, and Peace 2017, Export 2018, Steel 2007, Public Health 2018 and Coastal Development 2019 have no identifiable approved policy. Nothing was inferred to fill those gaps.
Maritime: the booklet prints 2018, but Pakistan's National Maritime Policy was launched in 2002 (promulgated 30 November 2002). The correction is flagged in the question's keyFlag; the 2019 merchant-marine revision is a different document.
Several booklet titles are loose shorthand for the real instrument (for example, the 2021 'Human Rights Policy' is the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights, and the 2002 'Media Policy' is the PEMRA Ordinance). The note flags name the actual instrument so students are not misled by the shorthand.
