Is it having co education system

I graduated from the board exam from CMR in 1960 (1958-60). I lived in dorm in the school, as my parents lived in Army Stud Farm, Probinabad,10 miles further from Dilpalpur.I especially remember a young science teacher (I forgot his name), that helped launch me into world of science that ultimately resulted in degrees in engineering from Turkey. I'll remember his name if I saw his name ..Mohammed Ali Khan

This is Shamsia Colony's main park where young boys and children usually play cricket and football. Chaudharies of that town play cards and do bet daily while sitting in this park.

Very nice place

its cothm

Assalaam'aaleykum! Usman Bhai, good to know that your family traces its root back to Panipat. I am a native of Panipat and love wandering in the streets of Old Panipat to contemplate over the partition and what it has led to. It pains me a lot to see the abandoned houses and masajid now taken over by people of other faith who came here as Muhajir. Do you have any idea where in Panipat did your Nana Sahab used to live? Mohalla name or any other landmark? Also, did your Nana Sahab or anyone from your family revisited Panipat to see what they left behind after they made hijrat to the other side of the border?

yes you are right. shora kothi history started from the era of great Saint Baba Fareed Ganj shker from 12th century. i am feel privilege that i am resident of Shora kothi in house that was part Shora factory owned by Seth Meghraj Mohunta but at present time is converted into a large beautiful house. no body can guess that a factory was exist there ever :P

i am glad to read this story. i feel great privilege to inform you all that i am living next to Dr. Shora' home in street # 1 shora kothi, okara. A wall separate Shora Kothi from Mustafa park which is predominant with marzai (Ahmadi). My grandfather Siraj Din was built this wall. Now a days this wall has a door which is used for students to go school in Mustafa Park. for a long time this house remained empty because owner of this house was lived abroad and they offer this house on rent. i had spent my childhood around these houses. i remembered how i jumped from my roof to Dr. Shora's house to caught a kite :) or some time to pick fruits from the plants that was grown in their lawn. my parents told us all about the historical places in okara icluding shora buisness. you ll be surprised to know i have read a book regarding Saint Baba Farid ud Din Ganjshker, it was mentioned in this book that few of his follower extract shora from okara. that was really surprising for me. i am 26 years old. i love my city Okara more than any place in Pakistan. i always try to find some thing which distinct my city from others. But at the same time i love Batala (India) which is homeland of my forefathers from both sides. From maternal side we belongs to Guspura Batala where we had a lot land and of buffaloes (Maj or mai'n in punjabi) therefore people used to call us maieeyan waley. my great grandfather name was Maher Firoz Din and grandfather name was Maher Hassan. On other hands my forefathers from paternal side belongs to Achli gate Batala. where we had Commission shop (Aarhet in punjabi) in sabzi mandi. and my grandfather were also holding an Agri engineering industry with name of ( Batala engineer's). when i heard stories from my elders a natural feelings emerge and i really wish to see that place. i have a lot of unseen love for Batala. i have heard a lot of stories regarding partition but God really give me an opportunity to be part a story but as medium to bring a man to his birth place in Okara. it was sep, 2006 when i received an email from Dr. viny Kumar, dean of Chicago medical university USA. he requested me to find his birth place in okara. where his grand father Dr. Uttam Chand Ahuja used to live before partition. it was very difficult for me to find it because he told me that his house was constructed in 1935 and i did,t have anyone who was so much aged. secondly things was changed in 71 years. i asked my father they said i never heard about that because my date of birth is 1951. but he solved my problem when he told me that old civil hospital was on thandi sarak near Company Baag (still with same name as it served to accommodate refuges at time of partition). i find 2 houses keeping in view the things dr. viny had told me. On November, 2006 he came to okara after attending conference in Lahore. we visited his home was still existing in same condition with marble plaque engraved with his grandfather's name Dr. uttam Chand Ahuja. he started to cry and rushed toward the pillar below this plaque and asked for picture. Meanwhile one of member of family living in this house came out having same piece of marble which they have secured for 60 years. In short very emotional scenes were there which can,t b explain in words. That was really good experienced and i thanks Allah almighty who give me an opportunity to serve the people who had bad experience of migration. i read Batala was included in Pakistan at time of partition and remained part of Pakistan only for 3 days but Indian's conspiracy to secure Amretsir has deprived Pakistan from Batala and we have to migrate :( Whatever the case I Love to be Pakistani and i love my city and wish to see Batala :)

i love my college, now i m Engineer in ZHONG XIANG TELECOM PVT Lahore Pakistan, Specially thanks my all Teachers, Sir Afzal sb, Azhar Ali Khalid Gill sb, Rasheed sb, Nazar sb, Saif sb,Nadeem sb, God give all of us a lot of Happiness and good Health

Dr Ali Bahadur was such a graceful person with black beard and noorani face. He lived in the street opposite MB High School, past Shaikh Riaz's home. He was our family friend. His clinic was a block away from our family home and his house was 2-3 blocks away from us.. On July 21, 2014 I met his daughter-in-law in London. She was so happy to hear details of Dr. Ali Bahadur's family. Her hubby could not make it to my brother's house that day, however she said that they will be back again soon. I had a short visit to Hendon, London, UK to attend funeral services of my Bhabi, Dr. Anwer Jahan wife of my brother Lutfullah Khan. May Allah rest the souls of our deceased loved ones in peace in His neighboorhood, among His chosen people, Aameen! I love Okara and have many memories associated it. Our family owned agricultural lands and fruit orchards (Bagh) in the vicinity of Okara, in Gogera, in Karman Wala, and in Marula (North of Renala Khurd). Gogera used to be District Headquarters prior to Montgomery-Sahiwal during British Rule. I grew up in Lahore, but Okara was like a second home for us. In late 1970s, we moved to USA, and love it here, while my brother and sisters are still settled in Lahore.
