The Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa North has completed the renovation and beautification of the mausoleum of renowned Pashto poet Amir Hamza Baba, located in LandiKotal, Khyber District.
Amir Hamza Baba, known as the “Father of Pashto Ghazal” and a Sufi saint, was born in 1907 and played a significant role in the freedom movement through his poetry.
After Pakistan’s independence, he dedicated his life to the preservation of the Pashto language and culture through his work at Radio Pakistan. After his passing in 1994, he was buried in LandiKotal, and a mausoleum was constructed in his honor.
The Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa North has now completed the beautification of the mausoleum as a tribute to his services to the nation and the region. A grand ceremony was held to mark the occasion, attended by prominent poets and literary figures who paid homage to Amir Hamza Baba’s life.—APP
