Hundreds people from Muslims and Kailash community organized a peaceful protest rally in Ayununder the auspices of Muslim and Kailash Défence Council Ayun which was presided over by Saleh Nizam Advocate.
Addressing the gathering, elders of Muslim and Kailash tribes including women councillors said that Kailash Valley is famous all over the world for its unique culture and natural beauty and the annual festivals of Kailash tribe are discussed all over the world which attract thousands of tourists from all over the world.
But unfortunately if once a tourist travels on this narrow and dangerous road, he also advises his future generations not to go to Kailash valley again.
They said the valley borders adjacent to Afghanistan’s Nuristan Province, a Taliban stronghold, and that terrorists from Afghanistan have come here several times in the past, killing many Kailash people and taking away hundreds of their livestock.
The speakers said that we are very disappointed from the National Highways Authority (NHA) and we urge the Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa to take notice of the importance of this road from a security point of view and build the road yourself.
