Thatha Shamsa Chattha (Urdu: ٹھٹھہ شمسہ چٹھہ),[1][2] is a village in the Hafizabad District of Punjab, Pakistan. This village is located at 32° 15' 47 N,73° 41' 35 E with an altitude of 206 meters (679 feet).

'Thatha Shamsa' means 'the village of Shamsa' (Shamas Khan was his name). Thatha Shamsa lies in the vicinity of a major canal originates from Chenab River at Barrage Qadirabad Colony in the west of the village. The weather is usually intemperate in summer and winter but autumn and spring are mild. The weather is usually dry and humid during monsoons. Summer also creates a good level of humidity as surrounded by fish farms. Sometimes there are prolonged rain spells during the winter, which in the local language is called "Jarri", winter depression.

Educational Institutes

[edit]

Two primary schools were financed and governed by the Government of Punjab. Government Primary School for Boys and Government Primary School for Girls and later was under consideration to be upgraded to middle school.[3] Most children, after completing their primary education, commute to Sooianwala High Schools to complete their secondary education. Ironically, the literacy rate in the village is very low compared to its neighborhood villages, i.e., Sooianwala, Madrassa Chattha, kot Hara, Nakki Chattha, Bhiri Chattha, Chak Ghazi, etc.

Sports

[edit]

Most of the time, people have to visit Qadirabad Colony, Sooianwala and Kot Hara to enjoy restaurant foods and various businesses. Thatha Shamsa's team has/had won a good number of regional cricket championships that were held in the region. But the lack of good playing grounds, kudos to local thugs and land grabbers, often force them to travel usually 2–5 km to practice and have an appropriate game.
