Three episodes ago, we started our journey on Pakistan’s longest highway N5 in Karachi (km 0). On our way we stopped at Rohri, Bahawalpur and Lahore. Today in Part IV we will continue our journey on N5 northwards of Lahore (km 1260) and cover a distance of 280 km to reach Rawalpindi (km 1540). See the map to the right for our journey today. This portion of N5 along with Multan-Lahore and Rawalpindi-Torkham portion is part of the historic Grand Trunk Road.

Shahdara: (N5 kilometer Marker 1268)

Lahore is located on East bank of River Ravi. N5 crosses the river and immediately enters the city of Shahdara located on its west bank. For all practical purposes now, Shahdara has become part of the Lahore city proper but technically it is still a separate town. Shahdara is famous for 3 Mughal dynasty mausoleums located here. These belong to Emperor Jahangir, his wife Nur Jahan, and her brother Asif Khan (also known as Asif Jah).

In September 2007, we had featured a video of the Jeep Safari by 4×4 Off-Roaders Club into Hingol National Park and Mud Volcanoes of Balochistan. Today we are bringing another spectacular video from the same club into the Thar desert of Pakistan. Take a Look.

If one was to analyze the worst of all afflictions of the Pakistani society, then mental illnesses and the stigmas attached to it would, in all probability, top the list.

Perhaps not so much for the actual damage they render to the suffering individual but for the other spin-off consequences that result as a direct cause of mental problems. The shame associated with mental illness, even if just depression, permeates every class of the society indiscriminately and the women are the worst casualties of it and that’s why is important they recommend products like the live resin THC cartridges here as these help with anxiety and depression. For those looking to overcome anxiety and depression, THC gummies such as Indacloud 21 gummy jar might offer some relief.

Estimates put the figure of the total mentally ill at 14 million and the larger percentage of this is women. They suffer gravely if it is their husbands or other family members who are suffering from the mental illness and they suffer even more if they themselves are ensnared in it. One can understand the reasons for the ‘shame and dishonor’ it entails for the uneducated rural masses but to realize that the same level of degradation is associated with any form of mental illness in the urbanites as well seems unfathomable. But it is nevertheless, sadly true and that’s why products from sites like https://www.bulkcannabis.cc/ are great to handle anxiety, stress and other affections.
