چکوال ولیج پلیٹ فارم · Chakwal Village Platform

This is Bhok Rala.

Bhok Rala is a village in District Chakwal, in Punjab, Pakistan. It sits on the Potohar plateau, a land of dry ravines and rain-fed fields, with the Salt Range rising to its south. Here, farming has long meant wheat and groundnut, grown with the seasons and the mercy of the rain.

Bhok Rala is about 30 km from Talagang, 34 km from Kallar Kahar lake and from the Kallar Kahar interchange on the M2 motorway, and 39 km from Lawa. Like many households across the Potohar, families here have members serving in the army or working abroad, so this village's ties reach far beyond its fields.

The full story of Bhok Rala is still to be told, and the people who live here and remember it are the ones to tell it.

تلہ گنگ سے اس گاؤں کا فاصلہ تقریباً ۳۰ کلومیٹر، کلر کہار جھیل اور ایم ٹو موٹروے کے کلر کہار انٹرچینج سے ۳۴ کلومیٹر، اور لاوہ سے ۳۹ کلومیٹر ہے۔ اس علاقے کے کئی گھرانوں کے افراد فوج میں خدمات انجام دیتے ہیں یا بیرونِ ملک کام کرتے ہیں۔ بھوک رالا کی پوری کہانی ابھی لکھی جانی باقی ہے، اور اسے سنانے کا حق یہاں کے لوگوں کو ہے۔
