''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''


Town in the Raya tahsil  of Sialkot District, Punjab, 
situated in 32° 5' N. and 74° 53' E., on the north bank of the Ravi, 
35 miles south-east of Sialkot town. Population (1901), 4,422. The 
name is derived from its founder Naru, a Bajwa Sansi, who is said to 
have settled here four centuries ago. It was formerly the head-quarters 
of what is now the Raya tahs'il. The chief industry is the manufacture 
of brass vessels, but native shoes of ornamental design are also made. 
The Church Missionary and Zanana Missionary Societies established 
here maintain an Anglo-vernacular middle school and a female hospital 
and dispensary. The town also possesses an aided Punjabi Anglo- 
vernacular middle school. Outside the town is a large church. The 
municipality was created in 1867. The income and expenditure during 
the ten years ending 1902-3 averaged Rs. 4,500. In 1903-4 the 
income was Rs. 5,500, chiefly from octroi; and the expenditure was 
Rs. 5,400.
