Fazilka District Court Recruitment 2019 For Peon Vacancy

Since the day of its creation on 27 July 2011, Fazilka has been continuously growing as a District. All the other administrative branches of the District Administration, Fazilka were already functioning since the day of issuance of the award for district status to Fazilka. However, Sessions Division at Fazilka has been created by the Punjab Government later on 12 November, 2018.

Fazilka city is headquarter of the district but the largest city of the district is Abohar. Fazilka has the district of Ferozepur to its North, Sri Muktsar Sahib to its East, Rajasthan to its South and Pakistan to its West. Fazilka is near the India-Pakistan border which is just 11 km away. River Sutlej runs through the district and moves over to the Pakistan through the Indo-Pakistan border.

The British Raj connected Fazilka with a new rail link which served as an economic and more efficient alternative for despatching wool bales to Karachi, resulting in the relinquishment of the boat pier at village Jhangar. Till 1947, Fazilka was earning highest revenue for the Government of Punjab. The rich traders shared their prosperity in a liberal manner by gifting money to install Schools, Clock tower (famous Ghanta Ghar) and a Degree College in the town.However, after partition, the prosperity vanished as the basic trading tool i.e. the Rail track was snapped at the border. Being at the border, Fazilka had to bear the brunt of India-Pakistan partition in 1947 and the Indo-Pak wars of 1965, 1971 and 1999. On 16 July, 2012 rail service between Fazilka and Abohar became operational. At present, Fazilka is situated on the rice growing and cotton rich belt of Punjab and is one of the major rice exporting centers in India.
