Problems of the Village’s People

As the Village is small so basic facilities are absent  No hospital, No Markets,No college for Boys or Girls therefore peoples especially females have to face many difficulties in order to fulfill their daily or occasional necessacities. Main problems of the village are as under.

Wastewater Removal System

The most prominent problem of the village is the removal of wastewater of homes and rain the main obstacle in this way is Lower Jehlum Canal (it cuts the village body from villagers own land) and land of other villages around this village. In the absence of severage system some people of the village has to face problems like accumulation of rain water in front of  their houses, when the LAKE (chhapparr present in the center of the village) is filled with water it come out in the streets this not only paralyse life in their homes but also a source of many diseases like MALARIA,CHOLERA and SCABIES etc.                                    

Flood in River Jehlum

As the land of village is located almost at the bank of River so second important problem of the village is Flood in the River Jehlum although this flood does not come in the village but in the lands of villagers. The most severe incident occured in 1992 when it caused large scale destruction of crops and cattles. Unfortunately it had come suddenly at night when most of villagers were at their homes almost 3 Km away from their livelihood before sleep they didn’t know that in the morning they will loss  all their crops and some of their cattles. Such incidents occur periodically.

Jagirdari System

Unlike other nearby villages Jagirdari system is not  at its peak but some roots are there in this village , one example occurred few years ago when all the JUTT bradary decided to punish  Kami brodery because they were becoming disobedient unfortunately some of them come under this violence but now situation is changing with the passage of time.

Problems of the Poor People

People of the village are not very rich nor very poor. Except few houses all other can earn their livelihood easily those who are poor they are helped by the other village people in

the form of Fitrana or other things in the name of God so fortunately every one is able to eat honourably.

Educational Problems Faced by Girls

This is another main problem faced by students especially by Girls as there is no institute after F.A (Inter) degree so  the girls have to face great hurdle in their career so most of them stop their education because villagers does not allow their girls to go away from their homes,so most of the girls are underinter if other want to carry on their education they do so either Privately through Punjab University or  through Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad.

Promises made by the Political Leaders of the area

This is a very interresting  topic because when there is period of election especially of National and Provincial Assembly it looks that all the candidates are our own and they are in election only for our village because they solve all the problems of the village with their tongue in few minutes but as soon as they becomes leaders they even refuse to recognize their major supporters until the next election comes.

Crime rate in the Village

As it is already mentioned that most of the reports in Thana Malakwal belong to this village in which most are to pull legs or arms of the opposing party but the steeling of cattles is an important problem faced by villagers especialy JUTT families such Thieves does not belong to this village but to nearby villages whom names are not good to mention,  in this village few black sheeps in young generation are also going on wrong path.

Suggestions1. The problem of wastewater removal can be resolved by passing severage pipes

under the lower jehlum canal towards villager’s own land(i.e Baela). 2. The problem of medical facilities can be resolved by arranging one MBBS doctor

to whom in addition to his own fees villagers should pay some salary by collecting fund from the village.

3. Flood is a natural thing but the loss can be reduced by alarming the people about danger of the flood in advance by the Government.

4. Difference of JUTTS and other castes can be reduced by educating people and creating awareness of our religion.

5. Education problems of girls can be resolved by constructing an institute upto master level atleast in arts subjects in this or any of the neigbhouring villages.

6. About promises of leaders (bus Allah un ko hadaet de).

7. Crime rate or steeling can be minimized by introducing PARADARI system by keeping a guard to look after village during night.

8. Problem of poor people can be met by creating fund for them by villagers.

                     GOD BLESS THIS VILLAGE(Ameen)
