چکوال ولیج پلیٹ فارم · Chakwal Village Platform

This is Dhok Chirian.

Dhok Chirian is a dhok, a small farmstead hamlet in District Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. It sits on the Potohar plateau, a land of dry ravines and rain-fed fields, with the Salt Range rising to the south.

The village is easy to place on the map. Kallar Kahar lake and the Kallar Kahar interchange on the M2 motorway are each about 17 km away, Dandot in the Salt Range about 18 km, and the Katas Raj temples about 19 km. Across the plateau, many families have members serving in the army or working abroad.

The full story of Dhok Chirian, its families and its everyday life is still to be told. That telling belongs to the people of the village, and we invite them to share it here.

کلر کہار جھیل اور موٹروے ایم ٹو کا کلر کہار انٹرچینج تقریباً 17 کلومیٹر دور ہیں، دندوٹ 18 کلومیٹر اور کٹاس راج کے مندر 19 کلومیٹر کے فاصلے پر ہیں۔ پورے پوٹھوہار میں بہت سے خاندانوں کے افراد فوج میں یا بیرونِ ملک کام کرتے ہیں۔ ڈھوک چریاں کی پوری کہانی، یہاں کے لوگ اور ان کے روزمرہ کے دن ابھی سنائے جانا باقی ہیں۔ یہ کہانی گاؤں کے لوگ ہی سنائیں گے، اور ہم انہیں یہاں اپنی بات کہنے کی دعوت دیتے ہیں۔
