MUSLIMS GRAVEYARDS: Thousands of Muslim mujahideen had sacrificed their lives for the cause of the land of Malakand and during the two famous battles of Malakand a large number of Muslims were martyred by the British for their only sin that they were not ready to allow the British forces to dominate their territory.
In the Malakand environs there are a lot of graveyards in which the Muslim martyrs are lying buried. On some of the graves of the Muslims there exist tombs while majority are heaps of rocks and are barely identified to be graves. A thick olive forest in the Malakand suburbs identifies the presence of the Mulsim graveyards. Two of these graveyards are located in the Malakand on the back of Zafar Market.

AMANDARA HEAD WORKS: The upper Swat canal system emanates from the Swat River at Amandara Head Works and irrigates 121400 hectares of land of the Mardan and Peshawar valleys. The Head Works was completed in 1918. At this location, the Swat River has an annual flow volume of 5.44 billion cubic metres. The minimum discharge is 36.5 cusecs in winter and the summer flow peaks up to 443 cusecs.
A six kilometre long canal carries water from Amandara to the foot of Malakand mountains. Here the 3.5 kilometre long ‘Benton Tunnel’ after traversing the Malakand hills activates Jabban and Dargai power houses apart from irrigating vast areas which in the past were rain-fed waste lands.
The Amandara Head Works serves as a regulation point for controlling the water flowing through the Swat River. In case of an emergency, the Swat River can be diverted on a diversion already built for the same purpose through this regulation system. The irrigation department supervises the project.
A scenic rest house also exists near the head works where VIPs stay during their visits to Malakand. Standing on the veranda of the rest house, the visitors will find a most dominating view of the Head Works.
The rest house is also used for holding official meetings and other functions. The irrigation department controls allotment of this famous rest house.

BENTON TUNNEL: The historic Benton Tunnel was completed in 1918. The British government constructed the tunnel for irrigation of the arid and waste lands apart from running the power house at Jaban.
Later after partition, the same water was utilized to also run the Dargai power house. A 6.75 kilometre long pitched channel, commencing 2300 meter downstream of the Benton Tunnel, was constructed parallel to the nullah to lead the water to trifurcate at Dargai.
The water is trifurcated into two irrigation branches. Abazai branch running in a westerly and Machai branch in easterly direction. Both the power plants at Jabban and Dargai are set up each between the outlet of the Benton Tunnel and the trifurcator. This productive tunnel is a great achievement of the British government in Malakand.
Due to increase in irrigation water requirements, the Amandara Head Works was upgraded under the Swabi SCARP and with the technical assistance of Chinese Geo-corporation, an auxiliary tunnel was also constructed parallel to the existing Benton Tunnel which caries an increased design discharge of 51 cusecs. This upgradation has also helped in controlling water leakage and thus enabling the authorities to get sufficient water for the power houses to run.

GIBRALTAR HILL: On entering district Malakand and passing through the historic Malakand Pass, one comes to the village namely Malakand Khas situated on the top of the hill. Proceeding downwards to the Batkhela, the famous Gibraltar Hill will come into view, which is crowned by two British made piquets at both sides (now turned into debris due to no repair at all). Between this hill and the Malakand Fort is located the Muslim graveyard covered with a thick wild olive forest, the firing range of the Pakistan army and the British cemetery.
On both sides of the Gibraltar Hill there are nullahs and ruins of the old Buddhist road. This was in use even during the early period of the British occupation and till the modern road was constructed. This road was connected to the village Rang Mohallah. The same has now been abandoned after a metalled road was constructed via Piran village.

MALAKAND-III HYDRO POWER PROJECT: The gigantic Malakand-III Hydro Power Project is a venture of the Sarhad Hydel Development Organization (SHYDO). The project is under construction. It will produce 81 mega watts of electricity and is to be completed within the next three years with an estimated cost of 106.15 million US dollars. It is expected that by 2006 the project will be commissioned.
The power generated from the Malakand-III Hydro Project will be supplied to industrial units within the project area as well as the industrial estates of the province. This project is proposed to be operated in conjunction with the existing power houses of Jabban and Dargai keeping in view the variation in water availability in the Swat River.

CHAKDARA BRIDGE: After consolidating their position at Chakdara, the Malakand Field Force carried out different operations towards Swat and Dir till their authority was firmly established. The iron girder bridge on River Swat was constructed. The bridge still exists. Now a concrete bridge has been constructed at the west side of the old suspension bridge.
This bridge had played a vital role in the action against Umara Khan and enabling the British troops to siege Chitral. All the vehicular traffic now uses the new concrete bridge and the old bridge has been abandoned due to collapse of the gates.
