Cambridge : at the University Press 19 1 6 EDITOR'S PREFACE T N his opening chapter Sir James Douie refers to the -*- fact that the area treated in this volume—just one quarter of a million square miles—is comparable to that of The be Austria-Hungary. comparison might extended ; for on ethnographical, linguistic and physical grounds, the geographical unit now treated is just as homogeneous in composition as the Dual Monarchy. It is only in the political sense and by force of the ruling classes, temporarily united in one monarch, that the term Osterreichisch could be used to include the Poles of Galicia, the Czechs of Bohemia and Moravia, the Szeklers, Saxons and more numerous Rumanians of Transylvania, the Croats, Slovenes and Italians of "Illyria," with the Magyars of the Hungarian plain. The term Punjabi much more nearly, but still imperfectly, covers the people of the Panjab, the North- West Frontier Province, Kashmir and the associated smaller Native States. The Sikh, Muhammadan and Hindu Jats, the Kashmiris and the Rajputs all belong to the tall, fair, leptorrhine Indo-Aryan main stock of the area, merging on the west and south-west into the Biluch and Pathan Turko-Iranian, and fringed in the vi EDITOR'S PREFACE hill districts on the north with what have been described " as products of the "contact metamorphism with the Mongoloid tribes of Central Asia. Thus, in spite of the inevitable blurring of boundary lines, the political divisions treated together in this volume, form a fairly clean-cut geographical unit. Sir James Douie, in this work, is obviously living over again the happy thirty-five years which he devoted to the service of North-West India: his accounts of the physiography, the flora and fauna, the people and the administration are essentially the personal recollections of one who has first studied the details as a District Officer and has afterwards corrected his perspective, stage by stage, from the successively higher view-point of a Commissioner, the Chief Secretary, Financial Com- missioner, and finally as Officiating Lieut.-Governor. No one could more appropriately undertake the task of an accurate and well-proportioned thumb-nail sketch of North-West India and, what is equally important to the earnest reader, no author could more obviously delight in his subject. T. H. H. Alderley Edge, March gth, 1916. NOTE BY AUTHOR My thanks are due to the Government of India for permission to use illustrations contained in official publi- cations. Except where otherwise stated the numerous maps included in the volume are derived from this source. My obligations to provincial and district gazetteers have been endless. Sir Thomas Holdich kindly allowed me to reproduce some of the charts in his excellent book on India. The accuracy of the sections on geology and coins may be relied on, as they were written by masters of these subjects, Sir Thomas Holland and Mr R. B. Whitehead, I.C.S. Chapter xvn could not have been written at all without the help afforded by Mr Vincent Smith's Early History of India. I have acknowledged my debts to other friends in the "List of Illustrations." J.

    FEDERALLY ADMINISTERED FATA URBAN CENTRES PROJECT TRIBAL AREAS (FATA) (FUCP) Tribal Areas Rural-to-Urban Centres FATA Secretariat, Peshawar Conversion Initiative (TARUCCI) SPATIAL / STRUCTURE PLAN FOR SADDA, KURRAM AGENCY FINAL STRUCTURE PLAN REPORT September, 2015 September, 2015 Spatial / Structure Plan for Sadda Kurram Agency Final Structure Plan Report SPATIAL/STRUCTURAL PLAN REPORT FOR SADDA, KURRAM AGENCY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: The FATA Urban Centers Project (FUCP), started with the assistance of World Bank, falls under the umbrella of the Tribal Areas Rural‐to‐Urban Centers Conversion Initiative (TARUCCI). The FUCP aims to contribute towards the priority recovery and rehabilitation needs of FATA, identified under the Post Crisis Needs Assessment (PCNA, completed in 2010). It will become a vehicle for social and economic transformation in FATA through provision of better connectivity, employment opportunities, and a range of basic services in its towns and cities to enable them to become engines of economic growth. The TARRUCI has appointed planning consultants to assess the existing services available in the major towns of FATA and produce an overall planning framework that can be used to guide the immediate and long‐term development of the town. The primary objective of this consultancy is to develop spatial/structure plan for the development of Sadda town, taking account of the projected population growth, possible economic development scenarios, the need to serve existing and future population and other relevant factors. HISTORY: Kurram Agency is named after Kurram River that passes through it. Kurram Agency has a rich history and over the years, has been part of Mughal Empire, then Afghan Kingdom and after the World War II, came under British rule with fair amount of autonomy exercised by the local tribes.
