Gurudwaras in Peshawar
PESHAWAR
It is the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province). It is the administrative centre and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated in a large valley near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass (close to the Pak-Afghan border). It is known as “City on the Frontier”. Peshawar’s strategic location on the crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia has made it one of the most culturally vibrant and lively cities in the greater region. Peshawar is irrigated by various canals of the Kabul River, Kunhar River and by its right tributary, the Bara River. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan’s most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities. In the last three decades, there has been a significant increase in urban population (in part due to internal migration of people in search of better employment opportunities, education, and services, and in part because of the influx of Afghanistan and other people displaced by military operations and civil unrest in neighboring regions). Peshawar is the major educational, political and business center of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is one of the most developed cities of the region. Peshawar owns some of the top most institutions of Medicine and Education in Pakistan.
