This is Dhok Lalian.

Dhok Lalian is a dhok, a farmstead hamlet, in District Chakwal in Punjab, Pakistan. It lies on the Potohar plateau, a land of dry ravines and rain-fed fields where families grow wheat and groundnut, with the Salt Range to the south. Chakwal city is about 11 km away, Kallar Kahar lake about 14 km, and the M2 motorway at the Kallar Kahar interchange about 14 km. Dhudial is about 21 km away in a straight line.

Across this region, many families have members in the army or working abroad. The full story of Dhok Lalian, its families, elders and everyday life is still to be told, and this page is open for its people to tell it.

چکوال شہر تقریباً 11 کلومیٹر، کلر کہار جھیل تقریباً 14 کلومیٹر اور ایم2 موٹروے کا کلر کہار انٹرچینج بھی تقریباً 14 کلومیٹر کے فاصلے پر ہے۔ اس علاقے کے بہت سے گھرانوں کے افراد فوج میں ہیں یا بیرونِ ملک کام کرتے ہیں۔ اس بستی کی اپنی کہانی ابھی اس کے اپنے لوگوں کو سنانی ہے۔
