Description
Camel-riding officials start tallying its tribespeople living in a far-flung cluster of wooden homes in western Pakistan as the national census gets under way.
Beyond the reach of roads, power lines and TV signals in central Balochistan province, this arid settlement of five reed huts has no name and hosts barely 15 nomads -- three families herding goats and sheep.
"It's a mountainous area, and no other mode of transport can get through, so we are using camels for the difficult terrain," explains Muhammad Junaid, a census official. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
