 HARIPUR: Train service from Havelian suspended -DAWN - Local; 22 February, 2005
The suspension orders of the profit-earning route were implemented on Sunday when a number of passengers from across the Hazara division had got their seats and berths reserved several days ago from the booking offices of Mansehra, Abbottabad, Havelian and Haripur.
The announcement came as a shock to passengers, including women and children, who were waiting for the train for hours at Havelian and Haripur railway stations in chilly weather.
However, the railways paid back to the affected passengers after a long and tiresome wait, this could not compensate for the disturbance in their business and job schedules.

The newest of these efforts, the Scholars at Risk Network, is clearly part of the Havelian tradition.

 Opinion
Iraq and Iran used this in the ‘battle of cities’ and Afghanistan tried to target POF Wah during the Afghan War, but the wayward missile landed somewhere near Havelian.
All the same this rattled Pakistan whose iron triangle lies in the triangle Havelian Wah, Sanjwal.
India is not listed by Aaron Karp in his book ‘Ballistic Missile Proliferation, the Politics and Technics’, but I have a strong suspicion that the Indians must have benefited from Soviet Russian assistance in their missile fabrication, especially the earlier ones like ‘Prithvi’ etc.

With Mansehra emerging as one of the two main hubs in the affected area, responding agencies could consider utilising the rail route from Rawalpindi to Havelian (the official southern end of the Karakorum Highway) for humanitarian logistics.

Beyond Havelian, the distance to Abbotabad is only 15km but the rise in elevation is 500m in that distance.

A massacre of Hindus and Sikhs in Havelian was averted only by the timely arrival of the military; but stray killing of Hindus and Sikhs continued for weeks.
By the end of December, 1946 conditions in the Havelian area had deteriorated so far that all Hindus and Sikhs of this area had to leave their homes and property at the mercy of the Muslim marauders, and seek safety of life and honour in the Punjab.

 The Scud Missile Syndrome
Iraq and Iran used this in the battle of cities and Afghanistan tried to target POF Wah during the Afghan War - but the wayward missile landed somewhere near Havelian.
(May be they might have tried to target Havelian where there is a large explosive factory producing propellants for the weapons produced in the POF.) All the same, the Afghani intention was not quite clear - and only a marginal damage was done which was not serious at all.
So the CEP of the Scud could be many hundred meters - and at the best the missile could be used for engagement of area targets.
