Notable residents edit

Qari Barakatullah Saleem was born in the district. Deh Bala (ده بالا) is one of the villages of Haska Meyna district. Qari Barakatullah Saleem was an Afghan Quran reciter and is regarded as one of the best reciters of the Quran. He had won multiple Qira'at competitions.

Economy edit

Agriculture is the main source of income. Crops include wheat, corn, sugar cane and rice. At times, opium poppies have been an important crop. Deh Bala's residents do not have a modern water supply system for their crops. They traditionally drain water from the mountain (Spīn_Ghar), which flows along the south of the district, using water tap and shallow wells. Floods often destroy valuable fields. In the hill country, water must often be carried long distances by pack animal. Most villagers do not have access to potable water. Collecting and selling firewood, and manual labor, are other income-generating activities.
