About Muktsar
Sri Muktsar Sahib (often referred to as Muktsar (/'m?kts?r/)) is a city and district headquarters for the district of Sri Muktsar Sahib, located in Punjab, India. Historically known as Khidrana or Khidrane di dhab, the city was made the district headquarters in 1995. Chronological evidence indicates that the city was named Muktsar after the battle of Muktsar in 1705. The government officially changed the name of the city to Sri Muktsar Sahib in 2012,[2] though the city is still primarily referred to by its unofficial name – Muktsar.
