Some locals in Pakistan’s Jandol area request government to list Jama Masjid on UNESCO

According to Rawan Bakht, a local elder, the wooden mosque was built around 206 years ago, during the governance of Ghazi Umrah Khan (who is famously know as “the Afghan Napoleon”).

This mosque, is a historical and important building, which because of the fact that it has been located in a  lesser known area of Mian Kalay, has been unnoticed.

Some elders of the Jandol area have requested the Pakistan endowment department, to list the wooden mosque, which is a historical inheritance within the Mian Kalay region of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, as a famous site of cultural heritage and to take measures to preserve it.

The elder said that the mosque was built with quality wood brought from Afghanistan and bordering areas of the Deer Province.
