==History== The village of Dewal Manal is situated in the Dhun <دهن> valley, the word ''dewal'' came from an Urdu word Dewalia <ديواليه>, meaning 'bankrupt', which was attached to this locale due to many wars and other disasters. The villages here have been destroyed many times. During British rule the area was initially a major command post for the local Karlals, but the British made a fort at Nara.{{fact|date=November 2025}}
