Fazilka, Administrative town in Punjab, India

Fazilka Tehsil stands at an elevation of 177 meters above sea level in the Fazilka district, surrounded by agricultural lands and water channels.

The establishment of Fazilka in 1844 by J.H. Oliver marked the transformation of uncultivated land into a trading center between Punjab and Sindh regions.

The Heritage Festival, held annually from April 13 to 16, brings together local residents to celebrate traditional Punjabi music, dance, and regional cuisine.

National Highway 7 connects Fazilka to major cities, while the railway station provides regular services to Abohar and Ferozepur destinations.

The Sadiqui Check Post at the India-Pakistan border features a daily flag ceremony where soldiers from both nations perform flag-lowering rituals.
