History

During colonial rule the tehsil was formed as a subdivision of the Gujranwala District of British Punjab. The population according to the 1901 census was 183,205 a slight increase from the 1891 census (183,606). According to the 1901 census the main towns were Wazirabad (population, 18,069), Ramnagar (7,121), Sodhra (5,050), and Akalgarh (4,961) - the tehsil also contained 254 villages. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-,4 amounted to RS. 2,70,000.[3]

The Imperial Gazetteer of India (written over a century ago during the rule of the British) describes the tehsil as follows: "The tahsīl consists of a riverain belt along the Chenab rich and highly developed tract along the Siālkot border, with abundant well-irrigation; and the level uplands known as the Bāngar. The head-works of the Chenāb Canal are at Khānkī in this tahsīl."[3]

gollark: How did they even *know* about that subdomain? Certificate transparency logs?
gollark: Also, its user agent is different each time.
gollark: It looked at service-status.osmarks.tk, which has literally nothing on it but redirects to osmarks.tk right now.
