Details Zagai Mamond is a manifestation of national unity Apart from the plains, Bajaur has a large population at the confluence of mountains and hills. Zagai is a historical village located at the foot of Mira Ali Baba, the historic hill of Mamond, which is home to Malakhel and Yusuf Khel. Two young IT experts Ziauddin Khan Mamund and Engineer Shakeel Ahmad Khan had repeatedly invited me to visit this historic village. Don't get tired of talking about modern conveniences. It would not be out of place to call Zagai Mamond, the home of Maulana Fazal Mehmood Makhfi, a great freedom fighter, a village or a town equipped with modern facilities. The population of Zagai is between 30,000 and 40,000. An invaluable thing about Zagai Mamond is that there are three big mosques here, Miki Masjid, Bilal Masjid, Madina Masjid. All three are located at a distance of one or two meters from each other. People from far and wide of the village pray to him in mosques. There is no restriction on anyone praying in the mosque. In all mosques, prayers are offered at intervals of five minutes so that no one is deprived of praying in congregation. The first is the Mukki Mosque and the historic mosque in which Fakhr Afghan Bacha (may Allah have mercy on him) stayed on the occasion of his visit to Bajaur. It is mentioned many times in history. The Bilal Mosque is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Its beams are of real size and it weighs a lot. Seeing this, one wonders how it was brought and installed here. The educational ratio in Zagai is about 80%. The 18-room primary school here is probably a record in itself. The people here are mostly educated and well versed. There are 4 government schools. The foundation stone of Madrasa Nashr-ul-Uloom in Zagai was laid in 1972. Who is busy lighting the candle of knowledge of religion.

Helping the poor on every sad occasion, Eid and other important occasions and these same youths have set up the best sewerage system of the village like this town. The streets of the entire village were often paved by the same committee while the rest of the work was done by Ziauddin Khan Mamund with the help of MNA Gul Zafar Khan.

In this village, solar lights are installed at a distance of 9, 10 yards in every street which keeps the whole village lit up in the darkness of night.
