This is Dhurnal.

Dhurnal (also spelt Dhrnal or Dhuranala) is a village in District Chakwal, in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It sits on the Potohar plateau, a land of dry ravines and rain-fed fields, with the Salt Range rising to the south. Families here farm wheat and groundnut, and many have sons and daughters serving in the army or working abroad.

The village lies about 18 km from Lawa and 32 km from Talagang. The Kallar Kahar lake and the M2 motorway interchange at Kallar Kahar are each about 56 km away. Near Dhurnal, close to Rati Dheri, is an office of Allama Iqbal Open University, and the first private school in this area was Zia Academy.

The full story of Dhurnal, its families and its people is still to be told, and this page is open for them to tell it.

گاؤں کے قریب، راتی ڈھیری کے پاس، علامہ اقبال اوپن یونیورسٹی کا ایک دفتر ہے۔ ڈھرنال کی اپنی کہانی ابھی اس کے لوگوں نے ہی سنانی ہے، اور یہ صفحہ انہی کے لیے کھلا ہے۔
