History
During the colonial era - geologist Charles Stewart Middlemiss had been sent to assess coal near the Dor River as the Punjab government were eager for details about this (until 1901 Hazara was part of Punjab[2]), but his findings were so extensive and interconnected that he ended up conducting a full geological survey of Hazara. [3] The Dor River has a rich history in the Hazara region of KPK. it connects Karakoram Highway to Gilgit-Baltistan and other parts of Pakistan with the help of Ayub bridge.[4]
