The construction of the Mullagori military road in the Khyber Pass was initiated by Curzon, who found the concept appealing as it offered an alternative route to the Khyber Pass, providing strategic advantages for the British government in reinforcing positions at Landi Kotal and facilitating troop movements against the Afridis.

[2][3] The successful completion of the road encouraged Curzon to further improve communication routes between Peshawar and Landi Khana through the Khyber Pass.

In the 1920s, during the British colonial era, the Khassadar Force was established to safeguard strategic roads in various agencies, including Mullagori.

The Khassadar system provided allowances to tribes through whose territories the roads passed, ensuring cooperation and protection of vital infrastructures.

Key principles include Nanawati (seeking pardon), Tiga (Truce between 2 rival parties), Badal (retributive justice), and Melmastia (hospitality).Mullagori tribesmen are described as tall, stout, fair-complexioned individuals with distinct features reflective of their mountainous origin.

Marble is abundant in Khyber District, with extensive deposits in various areas including Mullagori, Sultan Khel, Ghundai Sar, and Loe Shalman.

At Shahid Mena, marble is associated with crystalline limestone beds, dolomite, quartzite, phyllite, and schistose rocks.

[7] The reserves at Shahid Mena are estimated to be substantial, with significant workable marble deposits located at a depth of 10 to 12 meters.

Quarry workers primarily use basic tools like sickles, spades, chisels, and hammers, with minimal safety measures.

The principal villages of Mullagori tehsil include Lwara Maina, Paindi Lalma, Mianh Morcha, Sher Braj, Murad Dand, Tahtara, and Nihar Ghara.
