Kahuta
Kahuta (Urdu: کہوٹہ) is a census-designated city and tehsil in the Rawalpindi District of Punjab Province, Pakistan. The population of the Kahuta Tehsil is approximately 160,000 at the 2008 census. Kahuta is the home to the Kahuta Research Laboratories (KRL) which was founded to undertake the ''Kahuta Project'' as part of the atomic bomb project. Before the ''Kahuta Project'', the site was occupied by retired officers of Pakistan Armed Forces and contained a small public community, including a private high school.
==History==
The Punjab region became predominantly Muslim due to missionary Sufi saints whose dargahs dot the landscape of Punjab region. The predominantly Muslim population supported Muslim League and Pakistan Movement. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, Muslim refugees settled in the area. Kahuta was a small incorporated city until the 1970s when KRL was constructed by the Pakistan Army Corps of Engineers under Engineering officer Major-General Zahid Ali Akbar, Director of ''Project-706''. During the 1960s and 1970s, Kahuta was inhabited by retired officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces.
In the 1970s, the Ministry of Defence was tasked by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to search for a remote location for carrying out atomic and weapon-testing experiments for the integrated atomic bomb project in 1976.〔 The residents of Kahuta were paid handsomely and were re-located in populated cities of Pakistan.〔 The Uranium Coordination Board (UCB) headed by Ghulam Ishaq Khan financed the reconstruction of the site.〔 Major-General Zahid Ali Akbar and later completed the drawings, surveying and measured the area aerially.〔 Within the week, the whole site was acquired by the Ministry of Defence, and the army truckloads, heavy engineering vehicles arrived the next day to re-built the site. All incoming materials and research equipment were labeled as common items and engineering tools to conceal the true nature of their purpose.〔 Scientists and engineers working and living in Kahuta were censored by the senior military officials.〔 Soon, the site was classified and abandoned for public with only few allowed to resides.〔 The Engineering Research Laboratories (now KRL) was established by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto as a research government national facility under the Ministry of Defence.Narh and Matore are very close to kahuta which are locally famous for its tourism.
