Samaji Behbood works with people in different cities of Pakistan to improve

Specially in Faisalabad the third big city of Pakistan.
Faisalabad city consists of chak numbers, or numbered villages, which have become
urbanised over time. The layout of these chaks was planned in 1885. The original
city is Chak number 212 and the area consisting of Peoples Colony, Madina Town
and Kohinoor Textile Mill area is Chak number 213. Chak number 214 consists
of 94 murabas, of these one is Dhuddiwala East and the other is Dhuddiwala West.
The rest of the murabas were agricultural land. Land in Dhuddiwala and the chak
itself was owned by three bradries or clans. These were the Wattoos, the Kamonkas
and the Balas. With the two murabas that constitute Dhuddiwala, the government
had reserved land for expansion. On some of this land refugees settled at the
time of partition along with a few families coming from the rural areas. These
settlers were permitted to settle free of cost by the Chaudhries, or leaders
of the clan, for humanitarian reasons. Due to this, and later developments,
the population of Dhuddiwala has increased from 500 in 1947 to 8,080 in 1999.
