چکوال ولیج پلیٹ فارم · Chakwal Village Platform

This is Lahr.

Lahr is a village in District Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. It sits on the dry, ravined land of the Potohar plateau, where farming depends on rain and wheat and groundnut are the main crops. The Salt Range lies to the south.

Lahr is about 7 km in a straight line from Choa Saidan Shah, 8 km from Malot temple, 9 km from the Katas Raj temples and 13 km from Dandot in the Salt Range. Across the wider area, many families have members serving in the army or working abroad.

The full story of Lahr's history and everyday life is still to be told by its people. This page is an invitation to add it.

لہر سے چوا سیدن شاہ تقریباً 7 کلومیٹر، ملوٹ مندر 8 کلومیٹر، کٹاس راج کے مندر 9 کلومیٹر اور کوہِ نمک میں دندوت 13 کلومیٹر کے فاصلے پر ہیں، سیدھی لکیر کے حساب سے۔ اس علاقے کے بہت سے گھرانوں کے افراد فوج میں ہیں یا بیرونِ ملک کام کرتے ہیں۔ لہر کی اپنی تاریخ اور روزمرہ زندگی کی کہانی ابھی یہاں کے لوگوں کو سنانی ہے۔ یہ صفحہ اسی کہانی کو لکھنے کی دعوت ہے۔
