Chitral State

The information on the State of Chitral should be a separate page, like that of the other Pakistani States and should include a list of the rulers. The sections HISTORY, CHITRAL STATE and KATUR DYNASTY should form a separate page.-Fred

There will be State of Chitral page when I have sufficient information and time. Green Giant 03:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Official Language

The official written language for Chitral State used to be Farsi, still spoken by many Chitralis, and Farsi was the language used for diplomacy and for communicating with forigners.

Khowar is the language of Chitral, but it was not a written language until the 1920's.-Fred

Osama?

The Osama bin Laden article says he may be hiding near Chitral. Shouldn't this be mentioned? WikiMarshall 17:04, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

No, because the article says Chitral is one of two popular assumptions and gives two citations, one of which alludes to unverifiable reports by shopkeepers and the other mentions Chitral in passing. If you can provide a reliable neutral source to prove that bin Laden is in Chitral, then by all means let's include it. Green Giant 22:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Lowari Pass

"To the south, the dangerous Lowari Pass (3,200 m or 10,499 ft) leads 365 km (227 mi) to the region of Peshawar; this now has a jeep road." I went over the Lowari Pass nearly 20 years ago in a minibus and it was fine. OK you had to get out and walk a bit in places but I would have thought that that was the principal route from within Pakistan (and therefore from anywhere). I don't remember it being dangerous, or no more than any road journey in the region.

I wondered about that myself -- I went over in 1999 and it seemed fine. I'll take out the "dangerous" and revise the sentence. -- Danny Yee 07:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I am too happy that laweri pass may be after two year after we will be across under the tana.it is very nice and lucky any person across over it. because it is very beautiful.[shafiq rahman from mastuj] email mtgh-2004@yahoo.com

It certainly is dangerous. A few people are killed every year by avalanche crossing Lowari Top. Did you bother to look at the high mountains on each side when you crossed? If an avalanche started coming at you, where would you run? Sam Sloan 12:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Bin Laden

I removed the sentence: "Osama Bin Laden was living there according to a news in Pakistani Paper Dawn http://www.dawn.com/2007/09/09/top9.htm" because it is inaccurate. The Dawn newspaper never reported that "Osama Bin Laden was living there." Rather, it reported that "US experts have claimed" that Osama Bin Laden was present in Chitral. This article was written by "Our Correspondent" and identifies neither the so-called U.S. experts nor the time period during which Osama Bin Laden was present in Chitral. This is why I removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.230.34 (talk) 06:03, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
