Sandal Bar
Sandal Bar (Punjabi: ساندل بار), also known as the Jungle Bar,[1] is the section of the Bar region in western Punjab located between the rivers Ravi and Chenab, and comprises the southern part of Rechna Doab. It corresponds to the present-day Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Chiniot districts.[2]
Sandal Bar is named after Sandal, grandfather of the 16th-century Punjabi chieftain Dulla Bhatti who, according to the popular folklores, led a revolt against the Mughal rule in the Sandal Bar during the reign of Akbar.[3] Until the late-19th century it was sparsely populated, when it was brought under irrigation after the establishment of Chenab Colony (Lyallpur) in 1892.[4]
