Introduction to Menghad, Pakistan
Menghad is a small city in the Balochistan province of Pakistan, located in the southwestern part of the province near the Iranian border. It is located in an arid desert area and has a population of about tens of thousands, predominantly Baluchi, with an economy that relies heavily on agriculture, animal husbandry, and border trade. With a hot, dry climate and relatively simple infrastructure, Menghad is a small hub for regional transportation and commerce.
History and Cultural Features
Menghad has a long history and is deeply influenced by traditional Baloch culture, with the Baloch language spoken by the local population. The city retains a tribal social structure and is rich in folklore activities such as traditional music and handicraft making. Due to its remote location, Menghad has been slow to develop, but in recent years the Pakistani government has been promoting economic improvement programs in the border areas.
Economy and Geography
The economy of Menghad is based on wheat and date palm cultivation and sheep farming, with border trade as an important source of income. The city is surrounded by desert landscapes and is poor in water resources, but has potential mineral resources. Menghad is connected by road to major cities such as Quetta and is one of the gateways for overland trade between Pakistan and Iran.
