Bannu District
Bannu District (Pashto: بنو, (ウルドゥー語: ضلع بنوں), Avestan Varəna), as formed by the British in 1861,〔''Bannu; or our Afghan Frontier''. S.S. Thorbourne, 1883. Trűbner & Co., London, p. 3.〕 is one of 26 districts that make up the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It borders North Waziristan to the northwest, Karak to the northeast, Lakki Marwat to the southeast, and South Waziristan to the southwest. It is represented in the provincial assembly by four MPAs.〔(Constituencies and MPAs - Website of the Provincial Assembly of the NWFP )〕 The district's main city is Bannu, 〔''Bannu; or our Afghan Frontier''. S.S. Thorbourne, 1883. Trűbner & Co., London, pp. 3-16.〕
The major industries of Bannu are cloth weaving and the manufacturing of cotton fabrics, machinery, and equipment. It is famous for its weekly ''Jumma'' fair. The district forms abasin drained by the Kurram and Gambila (or Tochi) rivers, which originate in the hills of Waziristan. Although Bannu is surrounded by rugged and dry mountains, it is a very fertile place, and early English visitors had been known to refer to it as a "paradise" - see the beautiful description by Edwardes quote by Thornton.〔''Bannu; or our Afghan Frontier''. S.S. Thorbourne, 1883. Trűbner & Co., London, pp. 6-7.〕
==Physical features==
The district forms abasin drained by the Kurram and Gambila (or Tochi)〔(Bannu District - Gazetteer of India, v. 6, p. 392 )〕 rivers, which originate in the hills of Waziristan. The Bannu Valley proper stretches to the foot of the frontier hills, forming an irregular oval, measuring 60 miles (100 km) from north to south and 40 miles (60 km) from east to west.
The Kurram River, the larger of the two rivers, enters the district from the northwest, near the town of Bannu. From there, it runs first south-east, then south into Lakki Marwat. The Gambila River enters the district about south of the Kurram and flows in the same direction into Lakki Marwat, where the rivers eventually merge. Between these rivers and on the left bank of the Kurram in the upper portion of its course, lie the only tracts which are perennially irrigated. For the first of its passage through the district the Kurram runs between banks of stiff clay which rise abruptly to a height of to , and its bed is full of stones and boulders; but downstream it spreads over long stretches of marshland. Its flow is rapid, but it is highly charged with a rich silt, which renders it valuable for irrigation〔 the famous and old village of Bannu is Sokari Karim Khan.
