Mingora (also spelled Mangora or Mingaora)
Pashto: Kostny: Language Pashto/ is the largest city in Swat
District,Malaknd Dawegan "
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is located at an,
altitude-of 984 metres (3,228 ft)-[1] and lies-on the banks,
of River Swa- about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Saidu Sharif
the present capital of Swat. As of 1998, the population of
Mingora was about 175,000. The city was once a major tourist
destination and was described by Queen Elizabeth as the
Switzerland" of the former Empire.[2] However with the rise
of Taliban in Pakistan the tourist industry has suffered from
clashes between the Taliban and the government. In March 2009
the= city, like elsewhere in Swat, came under Taliban rule due
to-a peace agreement with the government. However the agreement
quickly fell apart and in May 2009 government forces were
engaged in fierce fighting with the Taliban to end their
occupation of the city. The city is controlled by the Army,
and the tourists feel fully secured.
History
Many Buddhist remains and carvings have been discovered near
Mingora in the Jambill River Valley. At Panr, a stupa and
monastery dated to the 1st century CE has been excavated.
At- Loe Banr and Matalai, Italian archaeologists unearthed 475
Aryan graves dated circa 1700 BCE.[citation needed]. On the
opposite side of River Swat at Aligrama- near the Saidu Sharif
airport a site of Gandhara grave culture was discovered by Italian
archaeologists which has been dated to circa 10,000 BCE.
[citation needed] Queen Elizabeth never described it that way.
