GOJAL Gojal, also known as Gojal Valley, is a valley situated in the far north of P**istan. It borders P**i Shishkat is the first village of Gojal.
(9)

It borders P**istan and China at Khunjerab Pass and Afghanistan at Chipurson valley. It is the largest tehsil of the Gilgit-Baltistan region of P**istan. Gojal is a series of large and small valleys sharing borders with Hunza in the south, China in the north-east and Afghanistan in the north-west. Except for the Shimshal, Misgar and Chipursan valleys, all the villages of Gojal can be seen from the

Karakorum Highway (KKH), which crosses Gojal, entering China at the Khunjerab Pass. The valleys and villages of Gojal were settled over time by people from surrounding regions. In the opinion of most researchers[citation needed], Kirghiz nomads initially used the areas in upper Gojal as winter pastures. It is said[by whom?] that later on when Wakhis migrated from Wakhan to this region. It is very difficult to determine when the Wakhis settled in Gojal. However, it is narrated[by whom?] that the earlier Wakhi migrated from Wakhan and settled in the Yishkuk (Chipursun) valley, Hussaini and later the Boiber areas of Moorkun village. It is also narrated[by whom?] that when Hunza was under the Central Government of Gilgit the Ishkook settlement was wealthy and paid cattle and other dairy products to the Raja of Gilgit. As Hunza emerged as an independent state during the early 15th century so it can be inferred that different valleys in upper Gojal were inhabited by the Wakhi speaking migrants prior to the emergence of the Hunza state. Later, the oral history holds, a catastrophic flood destroyed the Ishkook settlement during the 18th century. Since 2010, parts of the valley have been inundated by the 27 km long Attabad Lake. Gulmit is the administrative headquarters of the Gojal Tehsil, in the upper Hunza region. Gulmit is a centuries-old historic town, with mountains, peaks and glaciers. It is a tourist spot and has many hotels, shops and a museum. It is located 2,408 meters (7,900 feet) above the sea level. Gulmit consists of small hamlets called Kamaris, Odver, Dalgiram, Laksh, Kalha, Shawaran, Khor Lakhsh, Chamangul and Goze. Gulmit is home to around 4,000 people, all of them Wakhi-speakers and followers of the Ismaili sect of Shia Islam.

Its a shame to post a picture of a dead person !

In today's world people of the same family live in different cities and towns.
What will a person go through if he see's a dead picture of their family member dying on a bed. !
This a serious issue nowadays, everyone wants to be the first in letting people know has died through Facebook.

We should all learn to remain in our moral and ethical values.

Shame on such news teams !

Dr.Sania Nishtar

Hello Ms. Nishtar,

I would like to bring to your notice that Wakhi language has not been recognized or mentioned in the Ehsaas program registration form, due to which speakers of Wakhi are forced to choose 'other' instead of their own language.

Wakhi is an endangered language according to UNESCO. Therefore, the government of P**istan needs to take robust steps to protect and promote the language. Instead, to our chagrin, our language does not even find mention in an official form.
You are requested to kindly rectify this error and add Wakhi, and all other languages of P**istan that may have been excluded, in the official documents.

Your learned self is well aware that languages are markers of identity. Exclusion of certain languages, for whatever reason, is a disheartening action and does not show responsibility on part of the government.

I do not have access to your email ID or any other mechanism of official communique. Therefore, I had to use this public space with the hope of reaching your office.

Warm regards

N.B: I would request all friends, Wakhi speakers and others, to share this message on all social media platforms to highlight the issue.

Farman Ullah, a renowned community leader and medical practitioner of Shimshal Valley has passed away.

Popularly referred to as a Dr., by the local community, Farman Ullah, a medical technician (Dispenser) by designation, was at times the only healthcare provider rendering medical services in the remote valley.

He always went beyond his call of duty to support and serve the local community not only in the main Shimshal settlement, but also in pastures and summer settlements located hundreds of miles away on the Pamir plateau.

In addition to his highly meritorious healthcare services, late Farman Ullah also served and led many community organizations, and religious institutions, playing a key role in development and wellbeing of the local population.

He was laid to rest in his native village in the presence of a large number of mourners.
