ZAFARWAL



Zafarwal is a town situated in the Narowal District of Punjab, Pakistan. It is located at 32°21'0N 74°54'0E with an altitude of 268 metres (882 feet). It is 7 km away from Indian-administered Kashmir. Zafarwal was part of the Kashmir region during the rule of Ranjit Singh. It was transferred to him by Ahmad Shah Durrani as a gift. In 1821, Ranjit Singh gave Shakargarh to Amir Singh Sandhanwalia as a Jagir. When the British took over Punjab in 1848, the area of Shakargarh was included in Sialkot District. In 1947, after the partition of India, Shakargarh was given to Pakistan and attached to Sialkot District again. As a result of this transfer, Hindus and Sikhs from this area migrated to East Punjab.
