چکوال ولیج پلیٹ فارم · Chakwal Village Platform

This is Bhikari Kalan.

Bhikari Kalan, also spelt Bhikhari Kalan, is a village in District Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. In a straight line it lies about 19 km from the M2 motorway at the Kallar Kahar interchange, about 20 km from Kallar Kahar lake and Talagang, and about 21 km from Chakwal city.

The land around it is the Potohar plateau: dry, ravined ground where families farm wheat and groundnut on rain-fed fields, with the Salt Range to the south. Many households in this area have members serving in the army or working abroad. The full story of this village, its people and its years is still to be told by those who live in it and those who carry it with them.

یہاں کی زمین پوٹھوہار سطح مرتفع کا حصہ ہے، خشک اور نالوں سے کٹی ہوئی، جہاں بارانی کھیتوں میں گندم اور مونگ پھلی اگائی جاتی ہے۔ اس علاقے کے کئی گھرانوں کے افراد فوج میں ہیں یا بیرونِ ملک کام کرتے ہیں۔ گاؤں کی پوری کہانی ابھی اس کے لوگ ہی سنائیں گے۔
