There is very old cannal over bridge in the town which was constructed by Britishers before 1947.Almost 30 years back the most crowded place was Bada Chouraha which was connected to Sabji mandi  via Kirana  Gali and Kapda gali. Residential area was limited to Purani basti and few houses at main road Jhinjhak.The Major business of the people here was Galla (Buying and selling of Grains).
