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... |

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)

ISLAMABAD, Jan 12: A Chinese entrepreneur has shown serious interest to set up a steel mill at Kalabagh utilising the potential of locally-available iron ore deposits at Makarwal and Chichali.

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.
