Modern Villages of Pakistan

 

Whenever we hear the word village, the only thing that comes to mind is ‘rural life.’ Especially if it’s a Pakistani village, it is seen as a poor area of the country where there is nothing but poverty and lack of basic necessities.  However, a village is a village because of its small size of area and population. Villages are typically perpetual, with fixed dwellings that are close to one another. There is no place that is more cultural and has more historic traditions attached to it than an old village.

We usually confuse Pakistani villages to be seriously deprived. Nonetheless, this article will identify the top villages in Pakistan that are way more modernized than any other metropolitan city. Being underrated in Pakistan, these villages have adopted modern techniques and better options to live. Keep reading to explore some of these and know their interesting facts.

FatuDedo

This is probably the cleanest place in Pakistan. Why, well because the inhabitants take care of the village’s cleanliness themselves. Instead of relying on the government, this village situated in Sindh has strict laws against littering where you are charged a fine doing that. The villagers also contribute money monthly to keep their village free of pollution.

Ehsanpur

Ehsanpur village resides in KotAddu near Muzaffargarh which has never had electricity power. To fix this problem and give access to electricity to the houses, there is a solar system installed on 20 acres and now this village fully relies on solar energy. 166 houses are powered by this solar energy project taken up by the villagers. Ever seen a village this advanced?

BastiTabu

As a nation, we all wish and encourage each other to take responsibility of our country and own it, instead of relying on the government or any organization as such. This village in Sadiquabad runs itself as well as resolves issues without any assistance from the government.  The sewerage system is as so that the disposed water is collected through covert passages and is later used for fields.

Rasoolpur Village

Rasoolpur village lies in Punjab and like the rest of the Punjab, very forward and enthusiastic in terms of education. They have been rated to have 100% literacy rate and all the kids have access to schools with 100% enrollment as well. Another astonishing and interesting fact about this village in Pakistan is that it has zero crime rates. Yes, Rasoolpur is safer than many famous places.

So, apart from natural beauty in Pakistan to attract tourists, these ultramodern and systematized Pakistani villages are so intimidating that you would definitely want to pay them a visit.

History of Jabal-e-Noor, Quetta

 

Quetta is one of the metropolitan cities and an attractive tourist destination. It is situated in Baluchistan being the 9^th largest city of Pakistan. The city is surrounded by beautiful river valleys and mountains. Talking about mountains, Jabal-e-Noor or the Quran Mountain is of very high importance. But why is that, this article will explain it to you.

The Holy Quran has been on Earth since the beginning of Islam. Pakistan too has had very old Holy Qurans published years ago. But, very old published copies start to tear or rot away. Ever wondered what happens to these old copies of Quran that have been damaged?

One of the hills in the Chilthern Mountain in Quetta, Baluchistan is the home to millions of old and damaged copies of the Holy Quran. Tunnels have been paved inside the hill to store these copies. This hill was turned into a shrine by two brothers who collect the old copies and either burry, store in bags or place and display in cases. Some of the copies are over 600 years old. The place is visited by thousands of people every day.

This is done so as it is not legally allowed to burn the Quran and any disrespect shown to the Quran can inflame accusations of blasphemy. However, the tunneled hill is now becoming completely occupied and the Holy Qurans are packed in sacks to gather them. The place is named after the real Jabal-e-Noor Mountain in Saudi Arabia where the Prophet received the first revelations of the Quran.

The visitors are not charged of any money but are welcome to give away donations. These donations are being collected in order to fund the digging of more tunnels for burying the copies of Quran that are lying in sacks. Just like Muslims leave donations for developments of mosques, this is another way to contribute in guarding the Holy copies of the Quran.

Would you travel to Quetta to explore the hill as well as give donations for the good cause?
