I lived in Baral during 1990-96 and now live in US. I still think it was the best experience of my life in terms of education and personal growth. I can never forget riding bike to the dam, Lehri park, and fishing near collapsed bridge across JCA building :) I visited Baral last year to see my sister and it hasn’t changed much.

Hi,

My dad was an excavation super. on Mangla Dam. We lived in Baral Colony from 1964-1967. I was 13 years old and in the eight grade when we arrived. A bit of trivia, while we were enroute from the U.S. to Pakistan war between Pakistan and India broke out. We could not land at Karachi, but had to go on to Beruit. I have fond memories of the Colony and Pakistan. I was forever changed by the cultural difference between people of different countries and how we were the same. At the time, I did not realize the impact that would have on me. Thank you for this website.
