چکوال ولیج پلیٹ فارم · Chakwal Village Platform

This is Kapur.

Kapur is a village in District Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. It lies in the Potohar plateau, a land of dry ravines where farming depends on rain and wheat and groundnut are grown. To the south rise the hills of the Salt Range.

Many families here have members serving in the army or working abroad, and this village is home to people who keep close ties to those far away. Within a straight-line distance of about 33 to 38 km are the Malot temple, Dandot in the Salt Range, Choa Saidan Shah and the Katas Raj temples.

The fuller story of Kapur, its families, its lanes and its memories, is still to be told by its own people. We invite you to share it here.

کئی گھرانوں کے افراد فوج میں ہیں یا بیرونِ ملک کام کرتے ہیں۔ کپور کی پوری کہانی ابھی اس کے اپنے لوگوں کی زبانی سنی جانی ہے۔ ہم آپ کو یہاں اپنی یادیں اور احوال شیئر کرنے کی دعوت دیتے ہیں۔
