Baba Wali Qandhari's stone in Hassan Abdal is renowned for its high calcium content, making it one of the top producers in the country. Babu Khurshid Ahmed laid the foundation for lime production in 1958, and since then, many in the local community have followed suit, starting their own lime production plants. Babu Khurshid Ahmed's legacy as the founder of lime production in Hassan Abdal will always be remembered. The city is also notable for its association with the 16th century [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Akbar]] - several monuments in the town date to the Akbar period, including the [[Mughal Garden Wah\|Mughal Gardens of Wah]], [[Hakimon ka Maqbara]], and the [[Tomb of Lala Rukh]]. Hasan Abdal is also near the city of [[Taxila]] – a [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]] famous for its ancient-era [[Hindu]] and [[Buddhist]] ruins. ==Location== Line 77: Hasan Abdal is located near the intersection of the [[Karakoram Highway]] heading northwest, and the [[M1 motorway (Pakistan)\|M1 Motorway]] that connects Hassan Abdal to points northwest and southeast. As part of the multibillion-dollar [[China–Pakistan Economic Corridor]] (CPEC), the Karakoram Highway will be rebuilt, while the Hasan Abdal area will serve as the terminus for CPEC's [[Western Alignment]].<ref name="dailytimes.com.pk"/> From the nearby village of Hakla, the [[Hakla–Dera Ismail Khan Motorway]] will run southwest out of the city and link Hassan Abdal to [[Dera Ismail Khan]] in [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] province. == ~~Lime Industry~~ Education== In Hassan Abdal, a city known for many things, its industrial history shines bright. There's a special story about lime (Chuna), a business that once boomed and is still remembered today across Pakistan. The first lime kiln in Pakistan started with Khurshid Ahmed, a visionary entrepreneur who initiated this venture in 1958 in Hassan Abdal. His dedication and pioneering efforts marked the beginning of a significant era in Pakistan's industrial landscape. Things really took off in 1969 when Khurshid Ahmed got permission SNGPL to start a gas plant. This made the quality of the lime even better, and the business flourished. The lime produced from these kiln quickly gained recognition for its quality and high calcium content, attracting attention not only locally but also nationally. Khurshid Ahmed's commitment to excellence led to the establishment of several lime kilns in the region, laying the foundation for a thriving lime industry in Pakistan. Over time, these lime kilns became integral to various industries, including sugar mills, steel mills, and chemical plants, contributing significantly to the country's economic development. ~~== Education ==~~ The city has several state owned primary schools, a high school each for boys and girls, a higher secondary school each for boys and girls and a degree college for women. There are a number of privately run schools to make up for the shortfall of the state owned ones. These include Trends School, and Presentation Convent High School, the latter of which was established in 1956.
