RELIEF AFTER FLOOD 46 Page INTRODUCTION Fazilka is the newly created District of Punjab and before it was the part of district Ferozepur. Fazilka is connected both by Rail and Road. It was developed by Fazal din and it is called Bangla. When in 1844, the tract of country on the Satluj was ceded by Bahawalpur, there was no village where Fazilka now stands, but Vans Agnew, the first officer stationed there, built for himself a bungalow, in which the office of the Sub divisional Officer (Civil), Fazilka, is now located. From that bungalow, the place came to be known as Bangla, a name still given to the town and Tehsil by the people. Two years later, Oliver established a few shops here and gave the place the name of Fazilka from Fazil, one of early Wattu settlers. Its favorable position near the Satluj enabled it to engross almost the whole of the export trade from the great desert tract towards Sind (now in Pakistan), and made it very soon a flourishing market. A most destructive flood visited Fazilka in 1908 and practically the whole of the town collapsed and had to be rebuilt. Administrative Division:- Fazilka district spreads over an area of 3,65,777 Acres. Fazilka district is sub-divided into three Tehsils viz.
