Fazilka Clock Tower - 6 June 1939 Clock towers were placed at the city centres in Fazilka and Lyallpur (Now known as Faisalabad). Both city centres were designed by Captain Poham Young, to imitate the Union Flag when seen from above, with eight roads to the main markets radiating from a centre with a large clock tower. The cities of Fazilka and Lyallpur both came into existence between 1840 and 1880. Layallpur Clock Tower was built by the British Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab, Sir James Broadwood Lyall, for whom it was originally named Lyallpur. Fazilka Clock Tower was built in the memory of a famous philanthropist of Fazilka, Ram Narayan Periwal, by Rai Sahab Madan Gopal Periwal and Shopat Rai Periwal. The Fazilka clock tower, at an approximate height of 95 feet (29 m), is the tallest clock tower in North India. Fazilka Clock Tower was made by contractor Sh. Narain Singh under the supervision of Mohd. Ch Abdul Shakoor Kareem Malak, who was the sardar of the region. It was inaugurated by Mr. M.R. Sachdev, ESQ, ICS, the then Deputy Commissioner of Ferozepur on June 6, 1939 in the presence of Sheepseks Asquire ICS DC Jalandhar and Rai Sahab Lala Vidyadhar PCS SDO of Fazilka. The tower was designed by Architect S.D. Wasan. Fazilka and Faislabad Clock towers were both inaugurated on the same day. Previously it was maintained by the Periwal Trust but since 1991, the Municipal Council of Fazilka has been responsible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Photo by Lachhman Dost

The Rewari-Firozpur Railway, opened
in 1885, runs across the north-east of the District, passing through
Sirsa town. There are no masonry roads in the District, except for a
mile or two in and near Sirsa and Fazilka towns. A good wide
unmetalled road enters the District at Narel from Hissar, and runs by
Sirsa, Dabwali, and Fazilka to Muazzam on the Sutlej, where there is
a ferry, and so on to Okara, a station on the Sind, Punjab, and Delhi
Railway in Montgomery District. Another broad road runs to the west
of this, nearly the whole length of the District from Sirsa via Abohar
to P'azilka, and is much used by Povindah traders from the frontier,
who annually pass through the District in the cold weather, with their
long strings of camels laden with merchandise from Kabul and
Kandahar, on their way to Delhi and the North-Western Provinces.
Other roads run from Sirsa north-east to Rori, south-east to Darba,
south to Jamal, and west to Ellenabad ; from Malaut south-west to
Abohar and Usman Khera, and north to Muktsar ; from Fazilka north-
east towards Firozpur, and south-west towards Bahawalpur. Except
during the rainy season, there are no serious obstacles to traffic, though
in the dry hot weather great difficulty is sometimes experienced from
want of water. Total length of District roads (1884-85), 500 miles;
railways, 35 miles; navigable rivers, 20 miles.

First Train in Fazilka Lachhman Dost
The Southern Punjab Railway Co. opened the Delhi-Bhatinda-Samasatta line in 1897. The line passed through Muktasar and Fazilka tehsils and provided direct connection through Samma Satta (now in Pakistan) to Karachi. The extension from the Macleodganj (later renamed Mandi Sadiqganj and now in Pakistan) railway line to Ludhiana was opened by the same company in 1905. The 42 km (26 mi) new 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide broad gauge line between Fazilka and Abohar was opened in 2012.
