After that, they vigorously took control of the whole area from Bandesha's.
It is said that, Kharak Singh (son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh) was married Chand Kaur, daughter of Sardar Fateh Singh in this village. Before the partition of India and Pakistan this town was a Muslim dominated area. This truth is quite evident from the numerous old mosques (which were converted into Gurudwaras). Chand Kaur built an attractive temple here with a Pucca tank, which still stands. It is said that, there was a pucca tunnel linking the temple and the Fort, built for the convenience of Chand Kaur to go to the temple every day for worship. During 1947, after the partition of India and Pakistan, number of migrants settled here.
Bandesha’s also called Bandechha ruled this region during 17th century.
