VILLAGE LIFE Of PUNJAB

Pakistan is an agricultural country.

Most of its population lives in the villages.

Villages of Pakistan are very traditional.

A typical Pakistani village is situated away from the noise of a city.

It is a peaceful and silent place.

There are green trees, vast meadows, and flowery bushes in every village.

The blossoming flowers, fragrant air, the rising and setting sun all leave a healthy influence on the health of villagers.

Most of the village people have simple habits and limited needs.

• It consists of unpaved paths and streets.

• Its houses are made of mud. However, now villagers have started to make their houses of bricks.
