Firozpur

Firozpur, also known as Ferozepur, is a city on the banks of the Sutlej River in Firozpur District, Punjab, India. It was founded by Sultan Firoz Shah Tughluq (1351–88), a Muslim ruler of the Tughluq dynasty, who reigned over the Sultanate of Delhi from 1351 to 1388. Firozpur today is an administrative and transportation center.

Firozpur is called ‘the land of martyrs’. After partition of India in 1947, it became a border town on the Indo-Pakistan border with memorials of India's freedom fighters. Firozpur also holds a historic place in Indian history as it was from here that British Raj established control over much of North-West India as well as what is now Pakistan through the Anglo-Sikh Wars that were fought in this region.

Even today it is the headquarters of a division of the Western Command of the Indian Army.
