<p class="C1">&#65279QIL&#256 GUJJAR SI&#7748GH, a residential area within the limits of Lahore, was designated a "fort" when in April 1765 the city was parcelled out among the three Bh&#257&#7749g&#299 Sard&#257rs, Gujjar Si&#7749gh, Lahi&#7751&#257 Si&#7749gh and Sobh&#257 Si&#7749gh. The area outside the walled city of Lahore, about five square miles, towards the Sh&#257l&#257m&#257r side, fell to the share of Sard&#257r Gujjar Si&#7749gh. An entrance gateway was constructed by the Sard&#257r to demarcate his "kingdom". Since then the area has been known as Qil&#257 (Fort) Gujjar Si&#7749gh. However, in spite of being ruled by the Bh&#257&#7749g&#299 Sard&#257r independently, the enclave remained  part of the city of Lahore. The British built in this area the railway station and the police lines.</p>
