Residents of Wakhan district in Badakhshan said that the tomb of Ras-ul-Mulk, one of the historical monuments of this province, is in danger of destruction.
According to them, this issue has been raised with the authorities several times, but no action has been taken so far.
The tomb of Ras-ul-Mulk, which is one of the historical monuments, has a history of more than 300 years.
“According to the elders, this soil came from Qataghan land and is not from this place. There are two tombs here, one of which has been destroyed and the other is also in a state of disrepair. We have proposed this several times, but the Directorate of Information and Culture and the related institutions have not paid attention to it so far,” said Wali Jan, a resident of Wakhan district in Badakhshan.
“Two to three periods of the tomb have been destroyed and the Directorate of Information and Culture must pay serious attention to this matter,” said Baz Mohammad, a resident of Wakhan district in Badakhshan.
The Directorate of Information and Culture of Badakhshan said that they have raised this issue with the Ministry of Information and Culture.
According to this Directorate, about 38 historical monuments and archaeological sites of this province are registered with the Ministry of Information and Culture, and among them, five historical monuments were rebuilt during the previous government.
Mohammad Arif Farooqi, the Director of Culture and Art of the Directorate of Information and Culture of Badakhshan, said: “300 years have passed since the construction of the tomb of Ras-ul-Mulk, which has been destroyed due to natural events. Insha'Allah, we had a trip along this route a while ago, and we reviewed the historical monuments, and according to a schedule, we will share them with the Ministry of Information and Culture.”
According to some historical narratives, Ras-ul-Mulk, one of the Wakhan kings, was killed about 300 years ago along with 8 of his companions during the infidel attacks on their areas, and now his burial place is considered one of the historical monuments in the country.
