Mangla Dam Photo Gallery by Gharib Hanif at pbase.com

Mangla Dam

Mangla Dam was constructed in the 1960s. Around 50,000 people were moved from this district in the mid-sixties to make way for the construction of the dam. Most of these people settled in new Mirpur whilst some moved to Pakistan and the UK. Find it on Google Earth (you must have Google Earth installed)

Hello, It’s really strange how we like to reminisce on our childhood days as we get closer to our retirement days. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining… I dream of visiting Mangla dam, perhaps one day, soon I hope, that dream will come true. I went to the English school, I’m afraid I don’t remember its name. Anyway my father left Mangla in 1967 to travel to the UK and we joined him 1969. I have recently used Google Earth to look at Mangla, we nothing beats being there in person. My father passed away a number of years back so its difficult to find out who was who. Although I did exchange emails with a couple of people more or less my father age, but they don’t remember. Nice pictures… one day I’m visit Mangla and take my camera kit with me… Take care Wasalaam Saleem Mirza

Beautiful photos Gharib! My Father was one of the Consultant Engineers responsible for installing the turbines in the Power House at Mangla. I was 14 when I arrived in Mangla! I lived on Baral Colony from early 1965 until April 1968. It was a life altering experience for many of us. I have started a Facebook page called Mangla Dam Memories. I think you might find it interesting to see Mangla through our eyes and cameras back in the early 60's!!!

Fantastic photos AS USUAL.Near the dam, at Jarrikas,an educational complex is being constructed by a UK based and registered charity called Kashmir Orphan Relief Trust for the local as well as the orphans of the 2005 earthquake. The government of AJK has donated 100 kanals (12.5 acres) of land for this noble cause- a first in the history of AJK!A project in Kashmir for the Kashmiri children and well worth supporting.Please visit www.kort.org.uk for more. Thank you. Nasar, Leicester.UK

Muhammad Safdar Gondal		29-Jan-2008 20:16
sorry, i had erroneously written in my previous message as "Gharif Hanif" instead of "Gharib Hanif" M.Safdar Gondal

M.Safdar Gondal		22-Jan-2008 13:49
Respected Gharib Hanif The man namely "Gharif Hanif" which I had seen on TV was an habitant of Azad Kashmir and talking about Kashmir. Being a Kashmirian he was invited by the TV administration as a guest for comments / talks about Kashmir. Although he was not "our" Gharif Hanif, but i will also opine him as a reasonable person. Good Bye. Safdar

Gharib Hanif		12-Jan-2008 14:23
Mr Safdar No, I have never been on TV. I think the guy on DM must have been an imposter. Anyway what was the programme about and what was this fake Gharib Hanif doing?

Guest		11-Jan-2008 16:32
My home town yarr It brings back memorys.

M.Safdar Gondal		11-Jan-2008 10:40
Thanks. Gharib Hanif. I had seen a gentleman namely Gharib Hanif on D.M. Digital T.V. I was glad to think that " it might be our great "Gharib Hanif" who regularly send us very very beautiful pictures of Azad Kashmir. Safdr

Syed F. H. Shah (Abu Dhabi)		07-Jan-2008 04:16
I have been lucky that I had the chance to work with Mangla Dam Project and been a part of this great wonder of the world. I have witnessed " anti Mangla Dam " protests in old Mirpur by some opprotunists who were trying to create obstacles in the way of building this great dam. Mangla Dam is playing a great role in the development and prosperity of our country. But we do need to build more and more such dams to fulfil our power and water needs. Thank you for high lighting the beauty of Azad Kashmir and promoting tourism. Syed F. H. Shah ( Abu Dhabi )

Nadeem		17-Dec-2007 06:35
Lovely pictures once again... I wonder if we will get to see more of Mirpur anytime soon... especially the scenic beauty of the city...
