Wichhada
Watan - Memories of Mianwali - my parted homeland
By Harish
Chander Nakra
"Wichhada
Watan is all about life in Mianwali in Pre-Partition India:
graphically presented and feelingly evoked , with superb touches
of incidental humour and pathos. People who would rather know about
life as it was and people as they were -rather
about dates, battles and politics of the times - will find
Wichhada Watan and extremely absorbing piece of work" - H.C Nakra more... |

You can Participate
This is your website, please contribute towards its content
development site by sending, historical photographs , pre -1947 true
stories / experiences and whatever you think should go on this site.
Migrants to India can be a good source of pre - partition stories .
The only condition is that the senders must use their true names and
email addresses (and if possible street addresses). Information can
be sent to the webmaster.
Find
a Mianwalian - Project
Mianwali
Online has specially developed a software where people
belonging to Mianwali would enter their details thus forming a
directory of Mianwalians. Once the directory's size becomes
reasonably large it will help Mianwalians to locate their old
friends from Mianwali now living anywhere in the world.
Mianwalians
are present in almost every city of Pakistan . They can get
assistance from their district fellows in Pakistan in finding a job,
expanding their businesses, finding a doctor, selecting a university
and so on. But for that to happen they all must know each other.
So
the first step is to enter information about yourself and others you
know in the Mianwali Directory HERE
Soon
there will be the facility " Looking For...." where the
visitors will leave details of Mianwalians they are looking for and
others knowing about them will be providing the details. Please send
your suggestions to emailmianwali@yahoo.com
Note for Females : If females are joining the forum or chat, they can use
pseudo names e.g "speaker"," mickey mouse" etc.etc. The
email addresses of course need to be genuine ones, for receiving emails
(hope real names are not being used as part of email addresses)
Namal
College is Born
Another Feather in Imran Khan's Cap
The prime minister, along with the chairman of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, launched the quality Namal College in Mianwali on April 27,2008.
The college is the brainchild of Imran Khan, who was appalled at the high level of unemployment among the youth of Mianwali. Therefore, in order to provide high quality training and employable skills, so that the youth of the district could earn a decent living, he wanted to open a college.
The initial curriculum will be focused in the following areas: Construction (masons, carpenters, electricians), automotive engineering, electrical engineering with emphasis on appliances repairs; agricultural equipment engineering, development and maintenance, and cement industry work.
Majority of the students at the university will be on scholarships and come from areas where they would not have had the opportunities that the Namal College would offer. The Namal College will be of enormous benefit not only to the Mianwali district but also the whole of Pakistan. Over the long term, Namal College's "Knowledge City" will act as a best practice model for other regions of Pakistan to extend its benefits nationally, like the Shaukat Khanum is doing today.

 "I swear on oath that I was
given clear-cut orders from Yahya to surrender, but still I was
determined to
fight till the end. I even sent a message that my decision to fight till the end
stands. However, General Abdul Hamid Khan and Air Chief Marshal Rahim rang me up,

West Pakistan was in danger." Lt.Gen.A.A.K. Niazi

Steel
Mill for Mianwali
PIDC
selected a site (Kalabagh) with about 80% raw material available
within 11 miles . The steel mill based on the Kalabagh iron ore that was to be
set up at Kalabagh in 1956 but was taken to Karachi where it
is now making steel not from Pakistani ore but from imported ore(
ore contains 66% waste and 33% iron) . In protest the illustrious
Chairman of PIDC, Mr. Ghulam Farooq, resigned.
 In
1956, M/S Krupp of Germany offered to set up a steel mill based on Kalabagh iron
ore, coal and most other minerals available within about 11 miles. In June 1966,
another German company M/S Salzgitter produced in Germany 5,000 tonnes of
quality steel from 15,000 tonnes of Kalabagh iron ore in the presence of
some international experts, and sold it to Volkswagon. Some European banks
offered loans for this project, which confirms technical and financial viability
of the project. Engr. M.Akram Niazi has a lot more to say.

Yousafzai . Islamabad (December 19 2004): The government is
considering to restart work on the installation of the second
biggest steel mill near Kalabagh, in Mianwali District, it is
learnt. President General Pervaiz Musharraf and Prime Minister
Shaukat Aziz after through consultations have directed the Ministry
of Petroleum and Natural Resources to update the feasibility study
on Kalabagh iron ore to start work on the project, an official told
Business Recorder. However, he said that all work is in the initial
stage. This project will create 10,000 direct and 90,000 indirect
jobs in the area. He said that it would be the second largest steel
mill in the country. The idea of the construction of steel mill at
Kalabagh is not new. It is very old, but could not materialise due
to lack of interest on the part of successive governments, the
official added. There is a potential of over 780 million tons iron
ore spread in Punjab, NWFP and Balochistan, but Kalabagh ore
reserves are the biggest ( about 9300 million tons).more....
