Recently, the Sujag Sansar team arranged a visit to Kachho and departed with the cavalcade of vehicles from Johi District Dadu. It is situated about 50 Kilometers away from Dadu District in Sindh.

The drive from Johi to Wahi was 28 km-long with mustard plants greeting us from each side of the road; waving yellow heads, swaying with the wind.

Our unseen destination was a wetland situated 8 km at the west of Wahi.

Kaccho was a beautiful place with herdsmen wandering around with their cattle of goats, camels and buffaloes, surrounded by fertile cultivated lands.

When reaching the Pat Sulaman area, one of the leagues informed us that once, the lack of drinking water in the area had made the lives of the local people and travelers miserable and many had suffered from extreme thirst, which lead to deaths.

However currently, heavy rains have made conditions better.

The gypsies too have erected their tents on the sides of the roads. The lives of the gypsies is rather unique; they descend from mountainous areas to the plains of Kachho along with their herds of sheep and goats to graze on abundant natural and cultivated grass.

In the south of Pat Suleman stands a historical cemetery.

On the north side of the road, five or six imposing monuments can be seen, which go by the name of ‘butta quba’ (without minarets or twin monuments).

At a distance ahead is another historical graveyard called Bakhar Shaheed.

There are smaller open dug wells in the bed of the Nain Gaj wherefrom people of these villages extract water. — Photos and text by Irum Gul
