Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Achh-born folk singer (born 1966), son of Alam Lohar — not any other Lohar. Existence checks by name fragments (lohar) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record. The queue's year (1966, living) is confirmed to the day. Relations written: none in this file — the parent_of edge is written once in his father's record (person/alam-lohar), built in the same batch; his birthplace is carried in the birth note because Achh and Lalamusa have no place entities. Living-person care: only well-sourced public facts are recorded.",
