Village Nara (ناڑہ)

Detail about 

Village Nara (ناڑہ)

Some of the prominent mohallahs(populated areas or colonies) of the village are: Mohallah Tamman, Mohallah Ziarat, Mohallah Tairha Shirqi, Mohallah Ma’ian Sehna, Mohallah Bazar, Mohallah Lunger Khana, and Mohallah Tappa. Population of the village is around thirty-five thousand to forty thousand inhabitants. This village has a prominent place in the politics of the Attock district. It’s a renowned village at district level. Natural resources (oil and gas) are being extracted from Maari and Jalwal Oilfields which fall under the jurisdiction of Nara Union-Council. 

 Etymologically, the word ‘NARA’ has been derived from Nar ‘نڑ’ which is a bamboo variety. The size of its stick is 10-15 feet in length and 1-1.5 inches in diameter. The area was lush green with this bamboo variety. That’s why, the village was named ‘NARA’. Some 30-35 years back, there was an abundance of water in the form of lakes, flowing streams, and ponds. Unluckily, the level of under-ground water has gone down nowadays.
