Kotli Loharan East

Supposedly, the town was built or just upgraded, by the British somewhere in the mid 19th Century as a weapons and artillery manufacturing town; the principle bladed weapon maker being J D Pensioner & Sons whose name and location in Kotli Loharan E often appears on Nepalese Gurkha kukri and swords.[1] The town still has a somewhat mysterious past in its lack of information about itself. Not only that, most of the original families and residents of the town have moved away to bigger cities in Pakistan, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Anyone familiar with the history of this town should take pain to provide details for the benefit of the younger generations.
