Geography

A small dam sits in the upper area of Naryab, which is used by local farmers for irrigation.[1]

Naryab is bordered by

Zargari to the north, Kahi to the east, Tora Wari to the west, and Doaba
to the south. Doaba has recently become a trade center for the people of Naryab and other surrounding villages.

Development

Issues facing Naryab include construction of roads and transportation, electricity, medical facilities and formal education. Naryab Road has become a point of contention between JUI-F and PTI, the two big political parties. Gas royalties above five crore rupees have been issued to Tehsil Thall for the construction of Naryab Road. The two parties are contesting the use of the funds. The struggle delayed construction for more than three years. The disagreement became prominent on social media. Prominent social media group Naryab Khabroona played an important role in raising various issues especially road construction. Naryab Khabroona is still playing a role in raising the core issues of Naryab.

Another main problem of Naryab is electricity. After the formation of PTI's government in

PML-N
government, the electricity was disconnected for non-payment. Villagers claim that before 2013, WAPDA (electric utility) was delivering only 10 volts for two hours in 24 hours, making it unreasonable to pay more than two hundred thousand rupees for such limited service however in recent years the people of naryab use electric generators and mainly use solar panels and thus the electricity of Naryab was semi-restored.[citation needed]
