Sangrur City

Sangrur City

Sangrur is a city in the Indian state of Punjab, India. It is the headquarters of Sangrur District. Sangrur District was earlier predominantly rural in the southern part of Punjab. Now it is a noted centre of education and international business. The earliest settlement at the site of Sangrur is believed to have begun around 2,300 B.C. Attracted by the fertile soil and availability of water, Muslim tribes from Sindh and Balochistan started moving and following the path of the Satluj or the Ghagger settled at Rohira. They started living in thatched huts on virgin soil, and before long, they started building houses of sun-dried bricks. Their pottery was more Surdy and their equipment superior. At one point in history, Sangrur was a part of Nabha state but during the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh it was forcefully taken from Nabha state and gifted to Jind State. Sangrur has a few places of some historical or religious importance including Gurudwaras and Hindu Temples. There is also a King's palace in Banasar Bagh which has converted into a museum.  BSNL Park is also one of the main attractions in Sangrur.

Real Estate In Sangrur.

 

With hardly any sale and purchase activity on in the Sangrur district at present, the realty sector is passing through one of the worst phases here. Unlike Ludhiana, Amritsar and other cities of the state, big builders and construction companies have not shown any interest in launching commercial and residential projects in Sangrur. To make the matters worse, mushrooming of unauthorized colonies in Sangrur has left the local developers high any dry. There are hardly any takers for the approved projects as land is available for much less in the unapproved colonies. Land prices in the Sangrur have also not witnessed much appreciation in the past few years.
