Busal or Bosal (Template:Lang-ur) is a village in Mandi Bahauddin District, Punjab, Pakistan. It is one of the larger settlements of Tehsil Malakwal and lies between the Jhelum and Chenab rivers in the Jech Doab region. [1]
The origins of Busal trace back several centuries, with local accounts suggesting that the settlement was founded during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar (1542–1605). The area later developed into an agricultural and political hub due to its fertile land and proximity to irrigation canals established during the British colonial period.
Busal is the ancestral home of the Bosal family, a political and administrative lineage in the Mandi Bahauddin region. Generations of the family have contributed significantly to the development of Busal. Notable figures associated with Busal include:
The Bosal family has long played a leading role in Mandi Bahauddin’s political and administrative affairs and has made significant contributions to the development of their native village, Busal, through improvements in education, infrastructure, and public welfare.
Busal hosts several educational institutions, including the Government Higher Secondary School (established 1905) and the Government Associate College for Women Busal Sukkha (established 2015). These institutions have contributed to improving literacy in the area. [13]
The majority of the population in Busal are Muslims, with both Sunni and Shia communities present. Several shrines, including that of Mian Muhammad Panah and Syed Masoom Ali Shah, are located in the village.
