Farman Ajab Chitrali
   It is a great pleasure and bunce for us that recently a prominent capitalist and
international investor Mr. Anwar Aman has purchased a large area of land in Soran Lasht
adjacent to Charun and Kuragh in Union Council Charun Upper Chitral for investment to
develop Chitrali people. Although I have neither personally any access with him nor contact his
any special envoy, however, we are listening to good news from elites of our locality who met
him on various occasions say that he has decided to invest his vast capital here for mega projects.
Before that, we have not seen any precedent of such investment in the history of Upper Chitral. It
has been observed that mostly capitalists from Pakistan carry their capital to Western countries
for investment to earn more profits by using legal or illegal means but Mr. Aman is a single
personality in the history of our country who brought his capital from abroad to Pakistan. This is
the testimony of his patriotism and his great contribution to Pakistan will be remembered in
golden words forever. It will be not an exaggeration to say that like him great people born once
in centuries who feel joy over serving humanity and they consider it mandatory for themselves.
  We are convinced that all these megaprojects will not only help us in boosting our
national economy but also be fruitful in overcoming unemployment in the area. Since the
purchase of this land, major sources of income and a large number of employments are knocking
at our doors. Above all being an international citizen he adopted membership in our village and
his presence in the area is pleasant and we welcome him to be among us. We hope that he will
play a vital role not only in the development of village council Charun but he extends his
contribution to the whole district.
  We are also delighted to hear that along with some mega projects his intention to
establish an institution for human development in Solan Lasht falling in Union Council Charun
Upper Chitral is the most pleasant decision. All these projects including an institution for human
development are auspice for the area and will put a far-flung effect on its development. For this
larger-than-life deed, we pay our gratitude to him and pray May Allah bless him long life and
happiness and succeed him in his noble mission. To make the area accessible Mr. Aman and his
team are working on different options to construct jeep able road from the most suitable side for
it which is very essential for the development of the area and then other developmental works to
be started. 
 Side by side this land there is a vast area of lands possessed by other people in Soran
Lasht and they will be valuable shortly when suggested mega projects start and a link road to be
constructed for connectivity of it with other places of the district. In my opinion, this area is the
most suitable for residential houses. Under the same purpose, colonies will be constructed very
soon because it is safe from all kinds of natural calamities. Overnight a model village full of all
basic facilities can be inhabited here. In this regards the residents of the area will earn a huge
amount as an income by providing their houses on rent. Because district headquarter of Upper
Chitral falls in few kilometers away from here. Similarly, two-degree colleges’ one Government
Degree College for boys and the other Government Degree College for girls’ one Vocational
Centre for women are situated from 6 to 7-kilo meter away from here while Aga Khan Higher
Secondary School Kuragh is situated within walking distance.  
 
We cannot condonation from this fact too that these megaprojects will not give benefits
to the owner immediately but these projects may take longer time and he also knows it better.
Because he is a well-experienced person and knows very well where and how to invest the
capital. I think maybe these projects will return profits to him at least in twenty years perhaps the
project under construction in lower Chitral give profit in coming ten years. Besides these, the
owner’s decision to invest a huge amount in the area indicates how he loves his native land and
its people?
In this perspective when we see the owner preferred the development and prosperity of
the Chitrali people by leaving his benefits behind. Here it is clear that earning profit is not his
prime objective. If it is his objective he easily invests his capital in any advanced city of any
advanced country and earns as he likes. From this, we can conclude that his core objective is to
serve humanity especially to develop the Chitrali people. Factual evidence of his generosity is
that a large number of people attached with his various projects in the country as well as abroad
are earning their income and sustained their families.
  We appreciate him for his excellent jobs generally in Pakistan and particularly in Upper
Chitral as well as in lower Chitral for both mega projects. These projects will change the destiny
of Chitral and its people within a short time. In lower Chitral, his mega project is already in
progress and despite having in the initial stage it giving multiple dimensional benefits to every
walk of life. Although I do have no expertise despite it I expect the following outcomes from
these projects in near future. These projects will change our unskilled laborers into skilled and
productive laborers. These projects can help us to access new technology in many fields and they
can be replicated in other areas of Chitral to make the same fields productive. These projects also
play their role in introducing some unique Chitrali products in the international market, where
they will be sold at a high price. I also believe that these projects make transportation easy for us.
Insha Allah these megaprojects will further increase in beauteousness of Chitral and help us in
advancing tourism in the country. As a result, our local economy, as well as national income,
will be increased through which we can enhance our per capita income. 
    On another hand when we analysis contributions rendered by him in various fields we find
that he does not help people only but also create ease to various governments in terms of
employment given to the various category of people, building infrastructures and establishment
of different institutions for human development throughout the world.
