District Court Fazilka Government Jobs 2023 - Sarkari Naukri

The origin of Fazilka dates back to 1844 CE. After the Amritsar Treaty of 1809, the East India Company sought permission from Maharaja Ranjit Singh to install a boat pier on Sutlej River at Ferozepur to reach Karachi Port. The request was declined and the Company commissioned an officer Mr. Patrick Vans Alexander Agnew to discover a site for the boat pier, downstream of Ferozepur. He discovered the horseshoe shaped freshwater Lake ‘Badha’ and established a camp on its Southern Periphery. The Company sanctioned a bungalow on the bank of Badha Lake to install boating pier at Village Jhangar. The bungalow was constructed in 1844 which came to be known as “Bangla”.
