History and Significance
editWhile the exact date of Choondiko's establishment remains unclear, historical records suggest its existence predates the British Raj in the region. The city likely developed as a trading post and agricultural hub due to its strategic location along the Nara Canal. Following the creation of Nara Tehsil in the 20th century, Choondiko was designated as its administrative headquarters, solidifying its importance in the regional governance structure.[7]
