== ABOUT THE OLD NAME OF ATTOCK == |
|||
The old name of Attock was Kambel pur which name due to some reasons like in past when british government ruled here a camle core was established and second reasons is this that a Gen Camble was rule here so due to his name it is starting to called camble pur. Some people says that it was named due to a pois man name Kamal pheer whoes graved is still in the village of Kamalpur sayden attock cantt. |
|||
I think you are refering to Gen Sir Colin Campbell, of 'Campbellpore'? In fact 'Attock' was the original/older name, Campbellpore lasted for a short while and then it reverted back to Attock...

==Removed a section== |
|||
Hello, I have today removed a section that was totally self-seeking and self-promoting, about some village 'Thatta' and some 'prominent people' of the same --most probably posted by themselves or commissioned by them. I hope this is not taken wrongly but in the right spirit, if there's something useful to add about the district as a whole, please do so or desist from ruining this article. Kindly do not add any names etc that arent truly notable or dont fit into the article per se. if you wish to write something informative (not self-promotory) about your village, start another page/article, thanks [[Special:Contributions/39.54.111.26|39.54.111.26]] ([[User talk:39.54.111.26|talk]]) 07:36, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Hilda Khan |
