Haji Muhammad Alam Channa: 7 feet 8 inches

I guess many of us will remember another 7 ft 8 inch tall Pakistani by the name of Alam Channa who hailed from Sehwan. Photo is to the left. He was born in 1953 and passed away in 1998. He worked at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan. Alam Channa married a lady named Naseem in 1989. I remember that he used to drive a Suzuki FX which was especially retrofitted for him by removing the driving seat. He used to sit on the back seat and drive. I found this web page which shows 13 photos of Alam Channa (see here). In 1998, owing to deteriorating health he was sent to US by the Government of Pakistan for medical treatment. He passed away in New York on July 4, 1998.
