Apna Kharian

Dear friends.
I want to  introduce you my city Kharian. Most of the people of my City
are living abroad to earn their livlihood.
Here is brief introduction kharian:
Kharian is a city of Gujrat District in the Punjab province of
Pakistan. The chief city of Kharian Tehsil, it lies almost midway
between Lahore and Islamabad on the Grand Trunk Road (colloquially
known as the GT road). This is the road which connects the city all the
way to Bangladesh, India and Afghanistan and was used during British
Rule to transport goods across the South Asia. The main railway line
also passes through Kharian thus providing good transportation to the
northern and southern parts of Pakistan.
The closest major cities to Kharian are Jhelum (about 10 miles) and
Gujrat (around 20 miles). Kharian is known for:
Having the world's second largest army base (cantonment), built during
the colonial era.
Overseas Pakistani citizens who have roots in greater Kharian, and have
invested in the area.
Kharian is also home to a large medical facility/hospital (CMH Kharian
Cantonment) run by the Army. This hospital provides specialised indoor
and outdoor medical care and houses a special burn centre for treatment
of patients with severe burn related injuries.
Since Kharian is located in the land fringed by the Jhelum and Chenab
rivers, there is no shortage of irrigation water and the land is very
fertile.
