Mandar Chatha is a Chatha village to the North-West of Gujar Khan and South-East of Rawalpindi. They have been settled here for the last 200 years. 2 of the brother's came from the village of Manchar Chatha to settle here.

One of the well known Chatha's from there is Haji Subedar Mohammed Rashid Chatha and his nephew Haji Munir Ahmed Chatha is the first Naib Nazam of Union Council Changa Bangial with Nazam Jahanghir Pati.

The main big family is the seven clan the main contributors to mandar chattah [the sath karies] the two main persons from this clan Haji Mohammed Zafir and Mohammed Hafeez (UK) who devised of a plan to make a road on the west side of the village, with the help of Rajah Tokeer ahmed chattah and asad mamood and Mohammed Arshad (UK)& with the corporation of the mandar clan in UK and also Haji Munir chathah the first Naib Nazam who has achieved so much in such little time we could do with a lot more like him. So that there is easy access to the west side of the village.

Thanks to Haji Munir Ahmed Chatha (Naib Nazam) the village has made drastic improvements to the village roads and infrastructure & also around the neighbouring villages too. He also built a bridge over the river on the south side of the village, at the time there were many critic's about this project but so far this bridge has stood all that nature could throw at it. If all chatha's clan can stick together with unity then their could be a lot more done, Then what so far has been achieved.

There are two main clans residing in Mandar,

  1. Chatha.
  2. Pati's

on the north side of the village who also have helped and aided Chatha's in many projects, But the 2 clans have there difference's too.

Most the Chatha's now reside in UK, most of these can be found in West Yorkshire in a town called Dewsbury and Batley, also some Chatha's live in Slough near London and some live across other towns in UK.

The Chathas living abroad have helped and aided in many projects in the village with schools, mosques, electricity, roads and bridges.
