Chaman, a town at Pak-Afghan border in Balochistan province, is a rugged landscape with biblical mud-walled houses and dusty streets.  The scorching heat of the blinding sun burns trees and vegetation. Summer season is a nightmare in Chaman. Still it is full of life as all day and night, the streets of Chaman rumble with engines of heavy tankers and trucks, bound for Afghanistan with a load of oil, military hardware and other supplies.

A large numbers of Afghan refugees are living in Chaman. Families from both side of the border have relation with each other. During the religious holidays and festivals, people from both sides cross the border to celebrate events together.
