Area of the Village:

Total area of the village is about 48 squares that is about 1200 acres in which no one in the village contain more than 40 acres so no one is a big fish but it is almost equally distributed among prominent families.

Brief History:

Village Wara chamian has very old History since Raja Ranjeet Singh Government in Punjab.

In 1130 A.D Char Gujar Tribes were resident of old Wara, called Wara Gujran. With the passage of time some of them were died while remaining travelled back to their native village Charanwala present in District Gujrat. So there land was captured by SAHNA who was a landlord of the area.

After some time in 1470 A.D Sahna distributed all his property in his sons known as Khanana, Chhimon, Majhi and Hassan. A branch from Majhi tribes called Chami, A person known as Saida Chami always quarreled with other his tribe personnel’s. So Mr. Qutab with his brother FATEH DIN and Nephews Jhanda, Meher and Gohar opted self migration towards their Western Land called Ahli Gujran (Ahli means Graveyard of Gujjar Tribes) and they captured a major part of land form Saida.

In this way major caste Chami became first resident of Wara Chamian. As the old people called WARA to the YARD surrounded by wood for cattles and the caste of those people was Chami so, this village was known as WaraChamian. At that time mostly robbers came and robbed and murdered people, they felt unsafe themself and called for help to their older brother Grand father of BHOCHARS from Manchar Chathian and MR Mishry Khan SAHI from MALOWAL village, a part of current Dhok Kasib.

Mr Fateh Din, the founder of the village married his daughter with Mishry Khan SAHI. In this way Sahi were second resident of the village. Kashim Khan, a son of Mishry Khan was married in Khanna village. He had five sons MR WAZIR KHAN ,PIR KHAN,AMEER,MUHAMMAD SULTAN, KHAN, and KAMEER KHAN.MR WAZIR KHAN SAHI was the first litrated person of the village. He became PATWARI and was the most powerful  and nice person of his age in the village. He helped all his brothers ,he bought land from different villages and empowered all his family that is why now a days SAHI’s have land at second number in the village .

Another SAHI Brothery known as BHELK KAY was migrated from BAGRIANWALA near DINGA in district GUJRAT.WARRAICH came  from GACHARA village  in present district Gujrat.Mr IMAM Bakhash Kashmiri was the first watchman of the village uptill now this rank is till lying in his generation.

When in 1980 A.D Main road was being completed with tarkool Mr. Nazir Ahmad Sahi was resident on this stop. All his tribe was living near to this stop for thee eras. also he was a welfare mind person so he asked Highways Authorities to keep the name SAHI MORE of this point .Later on the robbers became habitant to kill people on the LOWER JEHLUM CANNAL southern bank so he requested to police officer to send some policemen at this bank. In June1992 an incident increased importance of this check post when S.H.O Shabbir Khan Niazi was murdered with his constable on the spot by robbers. So higher authorities realized to establish a permanent check post at this point. Now this check post has been refurbished for Patrolling Police.

Problems of the Village’s People:

As the Village is small so basic facilities are absent  No hospital, No Markets, No college for Boys or Girls therefore peoples especially females have to face many difficulties in order to fulfill their daily or occasional necessities. Main problems of the village are as under.

Wastewater Removal System

The most prominent problem of the village is the removal of wastewater of homes and rain the main obstacle in this way is Lower Jhelum Canal (it cuts the village body from villagers own land) and land of other villages around this village. In the absence of sewerage system some people of the village has to face problems like accumulation of rain water in front of their houses, which is a common source of many diseases like MALARIA, CHOLERA and SCABIES etc.

Flood in River Jhelum

As the land of village is located almost at the bank of River so second important problem of the village is Flood in the River Jhelum although this flood does not come in the village but in the lands of villagers. The most severe incident occurred in 1992 when it caused large scale destruction of crops and cattles. Unfortunately it had come suddenly at night when most of villagers were at their homes almost 1.5 Km away from their livelihood before sleep they didn’t know that in the morning they will loss all their crops and some of their cattles. Such incidents occur periodically.

Problems of the Poor People

People of the village are not very rich nor very poor. Except few houses all other can earn their livelihood easily those who are poor they are helped by the other village people in the form of Fitrana or other things in the name of God so fortunately every one is able to eat honorably.

Educational Problems Faced by Girls

This is another main problem faced by students especially by Girls as there is no institute after F.A (Inter) degree so the girls have to face great hurdle in their career so most of them stop their education because villagers does not allow their girls to go away from their homes, so most of the girls are under inter if other want to carry on their education they do so either Privately through Punjab University or  through Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad.

Crime rate in the Village:

As it is already mentioned that most of the reports in Thana Malakwal belong to this village in which most are to pull legs or arms of the opposing party but the steeling of cattles is an important problem faced by villagers especially JUTT families such Thieves does not belong to this village but to nearby villages whom names are not good to mention, in this village few black sheeps in young generation are also going on wrong path.

Suggestions:

1. The problem of wastewater removal can be resolved by passing sewerage pipes under the lower Jhelum canal towards villager’s own land(i.e Baela).
2. The problem of medical facilities can be resolved by arranging one MBBS doctor to whom in addition to his own fees villagers should pay some salary by collecting fund from the village.
3. Flood is a natural thing but the loss can be reduced by alarming the people about danger of the flood in advance by the Government.
4. Difference of JUTTS and other castes can be reduced by educating people and creating awareness of our religion.
5. Education problems of girls can be resolved by constructing an institute upto master level at-least in arts subjects in this or any of the neighboring villages.

MAY ALLAH BLESS THIS VILLAGE (Ameen)
