  • Plz make correction for location of Tomb of Dada peer kala. It is situated in the teritary of å village named Sultan khel, whereas Matore is å distant village which got no link with Dada peer kala tomb.
  • I think there is a road link between Sultan Khel and Matore through Mera.
  • Mara Name Raja Moin Akhtar Janjua ha.ma sultan khel ma ma rata ho. Dada peer kala ka tomb humara village ma ha. Humara village ka name b Raja sultan Ahmed ka name pa ha.
  • its located in matore i m villager of matore
