Altit Fort is an ancient fort in the Hunza valley Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. It was originally home to the hereditary rulers of the Hunza state who carried the title Mir. Altit Fort and in particular the Shikari tower is more than one thousand(1000) years old, which makes it the oldest monument in the Gilgit–Baltistan. The Altit Fort was in great disrepair, but has recently been restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Support Programme and the Government of Norway. Japan has contributed to the renovation of the surrounding old village. Altit Fort is a tourist site which has been open to the public since 2007.

Roohi - the first Pakistan film to be banned.
Roohi was banned by the Central Board of Film Censors on the charges of creating class hatred, whereas according to the film maker W Z Ahmed he wanted to depict life as it existed with all its ugly realities. The line of demarcation between class hatred and class awareness could not be distinguished by the Board. Mushtaq Gazdar does not mention the year but it was apparently in the early days of Pakistan.
A word about W Z Ahmed. He was the brother of Mian Riazuddin Ahmed who got selected in the last batch (1944) of the Indian Civil Service alongwith Mr Agha Shahi and Mr A G N Kazi. W Z Ahmed's first wife Safia was the daughter of Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah - the first Governor of Sindh after Partition - while his second was Nina an actress who worked in his films. Nina left her her husband Abdullah who was brother of Begum Khursheed Mirza to marry him. W Z Ahmed also cast Nina with Shyam a tall and handsome actor who died prematurely by falling off horseback while shooting of the film 'Shabistan'. Shyam was the father of TV actress/producer Sahira Kazmi.
