AIBAK (Pajhwok): Local officials say a number of local people have usurped land around the Hazarsum historical site in Hazrat Sultan district of northern Samangan province by creating caves for keeping their livestock.

Samangan information and culture director Aziz Rahman Qatra told Pajhwok Afghan News that the Hazarsum historical area was spread over 335 hectares of land in Hazrat Sultan district.

He said archeologists believed that the Hazarsum’s history dated back to BC era when people of the time lived in hundreds of caves.
