Oghi ((ウルドゥー語:اوگی)) is a city and union council (an administrative subdivision) of Mansehra District in the Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa of Pakistan.〔(Tehsils & Unions in the District of Mansehra - Government of Pakistan )〕 It is located in Oghi Tehsil and lies to the north-west of the district capital Mansehra.〔(Earthquake affected area overview - United Nations Joint Logistics Centre )〕 ==History== During British Rule it was the headquarters of the Agror valley (part of Hazara District) and served as the headquarters of the Hazara border military police.〔(Oghi - Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 19, p. 235. )〕 This Valley is green and surrounded by mountains. There is old fort or "Qila" built in 1865 and is currently the headquarters of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) Oghi District. In British colonial times, Oghi town, in the Agror valley, was the seat of the local chief, the Khan of Agror, of the Swati tribe, descended from one Akhund Saadudin, a mullah who came from the Swat area and settled here. Following the disturbances by The Black Mountain (Tor Ghar) Tribes and campaign of 1888 this chiefdom was formally abolished by the government of British India; and subsequently, the chiefs were given a limited 'Jagir' grant in exile.〔"Hazara District Gazetteer, 1907", Pub by the Government of the NWFP, 1908, pp. 203-205〕 In the post-independence era, this family has been represented in Pakistani politics by the late Khan Facker uz Zaman Khan, and then his wife Senator Mrs. Fauzia Facker uz Zaman,〔http://www.senate.gov.pk〕 and their son, Mr. Wajih uz Zaman Khan, Advocate, who is an MP in the Provincial Assembly of Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa. In addition, many people from this area have migrated to big cities in Pakistan such as Lahore and Karachi as well as several countries abroad, and are running very successful businesses there, investing heavily in land back home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oghi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
