Sherani Subdistrict - Sheen Ghar

Sheen Ghar

Shin Ghar is subsidiary of main Suleiman range and separated from it by the Lahar Valley.It extends from Kurchpina on the north & the Sulyazai valley on the south. Main peak range is 9273 feet. It is about 50 KM away from Zhob City and almost due west of the Takht-i-Sulaiman.The top is fairly level and affords a pleasant site which was used as the Sanatorium during summer months in British era,recently taken over by FC.

The hill is well wooded with edible pine.The wood of edible pine trees being very easily inflammable catch fire due to the friction of flint stone and are burnt down.

Adjoining to top of it is the shrine of famous Sufi saint, Hazrat Babakr Nika Harifal. Devotees visit the shrine regularly for answering their prayer. He was prone to religious ecstasy & mystical trance.He was a man of miracle:the theory or belief runs that many trees had made after him, when he migrated from his native place.PMDC have reported many coal deposit in shinghar.Prospects are high if harnessed. Western slopes of the range drain into the Zhob river,and the eastern into the Khaisara stream. This watershed demarcates boundary line between Harifal and Sherani tribes respectively.

Main nullah in Lahar valley is Chachobi nullah traversing via Kwarea wasta.Lahar stream takes its source near Hatsu watershed and carrying the drainage of the southernmost hills of the Kaisa ghar & Shinghar,then runs northwards between those ranges, a permanent supply of water occurring at Karghali. After irrigating lands at Kurai wasta,Ahmedi Darga,Niazi kot and Kachhi,it continues its course to north and taking a sharp turn to the east through lgad pass in the Suleiman range,drains a large supply of its water into Gomel River near DIK in KPK.

In autumn 1897 a slight shock of earthquake was felt in Sherani District in which several houses in Ghurlama, Kacchi, Burkhurdar and Pasta fell down. No human or live stock loss is on record.
