Gujrat, Pakistan information

Gujrat (Urdu/Punjabi: گجرات) is a city in Pakistan. It is the capital of Gujrat District and the Gujrat Tehsil subdivision in the Punjab Province[1]. People living in Gujrat refer to themselves as Gujratis, which sometimes leads to confusion with the Indian state of Gujaratwhich neighbors Pakistan. The major sources of livelihood of Gujrat populace are agriculture and small industries.

Location
Gujrat is situated on the bank of Chenab River, situated about 120 KM north of Lahore. Prominent nearby locations include Jhelum,Gujranwala, Mandi Bahauddin, Sialkot and Bhimber-Azad Kashmir. The city is surrounded by many villages which supply a significant labor to the local market.

History

Gujrat is an ancient city which was founded by Raja Bachhan Pal Gurjar in 460 BC, according to General Cunningham, the British historian. Historical consensus is that it existed in the time of Alexander the Great, and that the city's Raja Porus put up a fierce challenge to Alexander's invasion at the bank of the Jehlum River. The establishment of Gujrat City was realized early in the 1900 century after the British Empire and in support of regional land lords (e.g., Daswandi Khan of Daswandi Pura).

During the Mughal period Mughal royalty would used to travel through the district en-route to Kashmir. When King Jahangir died while he was returning from Kashmir, the news of his death was not released to avoid any chaos in the empire. As such, his abdominal organs were taken out and buried in Gujrat. To this day, an annual festival is held commemorating this event, commonly known as the "Festival of Jahangir".

Two main battles between British and Sikh armies were fought in this district: the Battle of Chillianwala and Battle of Gujrat. Only after winning the battle of Gujrat on 22 February 1849 did the British declare victory in Punjab.

Historic Remains

Gujrat is an ancient city of Pakistan located between two famous rivers, Jhelum River and Chenab River. Because of its proximity with the rivers, the land is good for cultivation of rice and sugarcane as main crops. It is bounded on the northeast by Jammu and Kashmir, on the northwest by the Jhelum River, on the east and southeast by the Chenab River, separating it from the districts of Gujranwala and Sialkot; and on the west by Mandi Bahauddin District.

She used to meet her lover "Mahinwal" by crossing the Chenab river, sitting on a pitcher. The tale is still told to this day, and is an essential part of Punjabi culture. The anniversary of Kanwan-Wali Sarkar is celebrated with a fair in August every year. The locals have a myth that it rains heavily at the time of fair (but actually the rail falls because of monsoon).

Medical college for Gujrat approved




Lahore, Oct 10: The Punjab government has approved the establishment of the Nawaz Sharif Medical College, Gujrat, and revised the plan of the Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology (FIC). Both projects will be completed at an estimated cost of Rs 2.03 billion.

Official sources said that the decisions were taken at a meeting of the Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP), Planning and Development department,
 Punjab.

Over-riding a previous plan which proposed that a project implementation unit (PIU) be set up and consultants be hired at a cost of Rs 500 million, the PDWP formulated a fast-track plan by forming a three-member committee comprising DCO (in-charge), EDO Health and Medical Superintendent of Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Hospital, Gujrat, to give a final shape to the medical institution project.

The college will be attached with the
 Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Hospital.

The committee made a drastic reduction in the consultancy fee, from Rs 500 million to Rs 1 (one) million.

The Punjab government decided to allocate land measuring 145 kanals for the project from the premises of Pak Swedish Technical Institute, Gujrat, and another chunk of 150 kanals from
 Jinnah Public School, Gujrat, for the construction of the medical college.

The MBBS classes in the college would commence from the current session, sources said.

The PDWP also approved the Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology project at a revised cost of Rs1528.353 million. The project was originally approved by the PDWP in 2005 at a cost of Rs 1032.353 million, but later the health department submitted a revised PC-1 at a cost of Rs 1758.387 million.

The health department submitted the revised PC-1 due to various factors. App
