(November 2024) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Mandrah – History Mandrah is a historic town located in Tehsil Gujar Khan, District Rawalpindi, in the Punjab, Pakistan. It has long been an important settlement due to its strategic location on trade and communication routes. Early History The history of Mandrah dates back several centuries. The region was part of ancient Punjab and remained under various local rulers before becoming part of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. During the Mughal period, the area developed as an agricultural and trading hub due to fertile land and its connection to nearby towns. Sikh and British Era In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Mandra came under the rule of the Sikh Empire led by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. During this time, the region remained stable and continued to grow economically. After the decline of the Sikh Empire, Mandrah was annexed by the British following the Second Anglo-Sikh War. Under British Raj, Mandrah gained significant importance due to the development of railway infrastructure. Railway Development Mandrah became a key railway junction during British rule. The Mandra–Chakwal–Bhaun Railway Line was constructed in the early 20th century, connecting Mandrah with Chakwal and surrounding areas. This railway line played a crucial role in trade, transportation, and economic growth of the region. Although the railway is no longer operational, its legacy remains an important part of Mandra’s history. Today, Mandrah is known for its historical significance and its role as a link between Rawalpindi and Chakwal regions. It continues to grow with improvements in road infrastructure and urban development while preserving its cultural heritage. ## Mandrah railway station Mandrah Railway Station [Mandra Junction railway station](/source/Mandra_Junction_railway_station) is on the main [Peshawar](/source/Peshawar) to [Karachi](/source/Karachi) railway line.
