buner history
The Buner Valley lies on the Peshawar valley border of the North-West
Frontier Province. It is a small mountain valley, dotted with villages
and divided into seven sub-divisions. The Mora Hills and the Ilam range
divide it from the Swat Valley, the Sinawar range from Yusafzai, the
Guru mountains from the Chamla valley, and the Duma range from the
Puran Valley. Until the year 2000 it was a part of Malakand Division -
until this division was abolished.
In April 2009, the Taliban seized control of Buner, after a brief battle
with local residents, who were unsupported by the Pakistani army. Strict
rules were reportedly being enforced, including the elimination of video
stores, bans on cutting beards, and the prevention of women from
appearing in many public places.[3] On 29 April the government responded
to the Taliban by sending the army to the region and dropping parachuters
by helicopter.[4] By the end of May 2009, almost all of Buner was cleared
villages
Buner contains a village named Pir Baba. It is in a green valley, surrounded
by high and green mountains. The famous two mountains are Elum Ghar and Dua
Saray Ghar. This is the land of many great saints. Pir Baba, Dewanababa and
Shalbandi Baba are the famous among the locals and outsiders.[citation needed]
Kinger Gali is the last border of district Buner which shares borders with
Mardan and Malakand Agency.
