This is Mondwali Dhok.

Mondwali Dhok is a village in District Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. It is also spelt Mondanwali Dhok or Mondanwāli Dhok, so you may see any of these names.

The village lies on the Potohar plateau, a land of dry, ravined ground where farming depends on rain, with the Salt Range to the south. In a straight line, Islamabad airport is 29 km away, Rawalpindi 47 km, Talagang 58 km and Chakwal city 61 km. Across this region, many families have members in the army or working abroad.

The full story of Mondwali Dhok, its families, its people and its memories is still to be told. We invite the elders and the young to write it here, in their own words.

یہ پوٹھوہار کے سطح مرتفع پر واقع ہے، جہاں زمین خشک ہے اور نالوں سے کٹی ہوئی ہے، اور جنوب میں سالٹ رینج ہے۔ اسلام آباد ایئرپورٹ سیدھی لکیر میں 29 کلومیٹر، راولپنڈی 47 کلومیٹر، تلہ گنگ 58 کلومیٹر اور چکوال شہر 61 کلومیٹر کے فاصلے پر ہے۔ اس خطے میں بہت سے گھرانوں کے افراد فوج میں ہیں یا بیرونِ ملک کام کرتے ہیں۔ منڈوالی ڈھوک کی پوری کہانی، اس کے لوگ اور ان کی یادیں ابھی اس کے اپنے لوگوں نے بیان کرنی ہیں۔ ہم بزرگوں اور نوجوانوں سے درخواست کرتے ہیں کہ وہ اپنی زبان میں یہاں لکھیں۔
