Wallahray
Wallahray is an ancient agricultural village located in the district and tehsil of Chiniot, in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. It lies approximately 15 kilometers from the city of Chiniot in the direction of Jhang. The village derives its name from the Jat tribe “Wallahray,” which is considered an important reference to the historical and social identity of the area.
Due to its proximity to the Chenab River, the land of Wallahray is highly fertile. As a result, crops such as wheat, rice, sugarcane, maize, potatoes, peas, and other agricultural produce are cultivated here. Agriculture is the primary source of the village’s economy; however, over time, other economic activities have also developed.
Wallahray is regarded as a developed rural community in terms of education and social structure. A significant number of its residents are highly educated and are engaged in government and private employment, trade, and business. On an academic and literary level, the village is associated with Prof. Dr. Saif Wallahray, who is recognized as a distinguished teacher of Urdu language and literature, a researcher, an intellectual, and a linguist.
This village represents a remarkable example of the blend of education, agriculture, and economic awareness, where tradition and modernity coexist, contributing to social stability and cultural continuity.
