چکوال ولیج پلیٹ فارم · Chakwal Village Platform

This is Dhok Shamashabad.

Dhok Shamashabad is a dhok, a farmstead hamlet in District Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. It lies on the Potohar plateau, where the land is dry and cut by ravines, and where farming depends on rain. The Salt Range rises to the south.

In a straight line, the village is about 19 km from Kallar Kahar lake, 19 km from Dandot in the Salt Range, and 19 km from the Kallar Kahar interchange on the M2 motorway. The Katas Raj temples are about 21 km away. Many families in this part of Chakwal have members serving in the army or working abroad.

The fuller story of Dhok Shamashabad, its families and its fields is still to be told, and it is for its own people to tell it.

کلر کہار جھیل، دندوٹ اور ایم ٹو موٹروے کے کلر کہار انٹرچینج، تینوں سے سیدھی لکیر میں تقریباً انیس کلومیٹر کا فاصلہ ہے، اور کटاس راج کے مندر تقریباً اکیس کلومیٹر دور ہیں۔ اس علاقے کے بہت سے گھرانوں کے افراد فوج میں ہیں یا بیرونِ ملک روزگار کر رہے ہیں۔ ڈھوک شمس آباد کی پوری کہانی، یہاں کے گھرانوں اور کھیتوں کی، ابھی سنائی جانی باقی ہے، اور اسے سنانا اس کے اپنے لوگوں کا حق ہے۔
