Malala Yousafzai visits Shangla for the first time since 2012

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai visited her native village, Barkana, in Shangla district on Wednesday, marking her first return since surviving a Taliban attack in 2012.
Accompanied by her parents, Malala travelled to the village via helicopter, where she reunited with relatives and engaged with local community members. During the visit, she explored a newly constructed school in the area, reflecting her dedication to education and women’s empowerment.
DIG Malakand Sher Akbar Khan confirmed the visit, which concluded with Malala returning to Islamabad.
