Tump, situated in the Makran region of Balochistan near the Iranian border, entered a new administrative era in early 2026 when it was separated from Kech and granted district status. However, many communities across this remote region continue to face social and economic difficulties, making local support and community service especially important. The district was officially established in February 2026.
In such circumstances, individuals who dedicate themselves to helping others deserve recognition. One such personality is Hammal Pirdad, a social worker and resident of Balicha Bazaar in District Tump. Known for his humility, generosity and concern for others, he has earned the respect and admiration of many people in the area.
Hammal regularly supports poor and needy people, as well as families experiencing hardship. Those who approach him for assistance rarely leave disappointed. He offers practical help according to his ability and does so without expecting recognition or anything in return.
At a time when kindness and compassion are needed more than ever, his conduct reminds us that true humanity lies in supporting others. His commitment to social welfare has made him a source of hope, particularly for people who feel helpless or overlooked.
What I admire most about Hammal is his honesty, sincerity and passion for serving the community. His actions demonstrate that even one person can bring positive change through kindness, integrity and a willingness to help.
Promoting Baloch culture and values
Hammal’s contribution is not limited to social welfare. He also encourages young people to remain connected with Baloch culture, traditions, language, hospitality and moral values.
I still remember a programme organised to celebrate Baloch Culture Day. Speaking at the event, Hammal delivered an important message: culture should not be celebrated on only one day of the year. Instead, it should be reflected in our language, behaviour, hospitality and everyday lives.
His message was simple but meaningful. Cultural identity cannot be protected through ceremonies alone. It survives when people practise its values, speak their language, respect their traditions and pass them on to the next generation.
Hammal particularly motivates young people to take pride in their identity rather than blindly imitate foreign cultures. At the same time, his teachings emphasise universal values such as humanity, dignity, honesty, generosity and respect for others.
An example for the younger generation
Hammal’s life offers an important lesson for the younger generation: success should not be measured only by personal gain. A meaningful life is also defined by how much a person contributes to the welfare of others.
Society often waits for governments, organisations or wealthy individuals to solve every problem. However, Hammal’s example shows that ordinary citizens can also make a difference. A compassionate person may not be able to eliminate every hardship, but timely assistance can transform the life of an individual or family.
As Tump begins a new chapter of administrative development, it will need roads, schools, healthcare facilities and employment opportunities. At the same time, it will also need socially responsible citizens who strengthen community bonds and assist those facing difficulties.
Hammal Pirdad represents this spirit of service. He is admired not only for his good deeds but also for his character and sincere concern for society. His efforts should inspire others—particularly young people—to participate in community welfare and preserve the values that define Baloch society.
People like Hammal remind us that compassion remains one of the strongest forces for positive change. His dedication deserves appreciation, and I hope he continues serving humanity with the same sincerity and commitment for many years to come.
