In the 21st century of this fastest developed world, a game called PUBG was invented. It has many good players. Similarly, there is a player in our Pasroor whose name is Syed Owais Ali (WOLF JUTT). Who beat the big players very badly. This is a matter of great pride for our pasroor


British era


During British rule, Pasrur became the headquarters of Pasrur Tehsil. The town (which lies 18 miles south of the district capital Sialkot) lies on the Sialkot to Amritsar road. The population in 1901 was 8,335. The trade of Pasrur has become very decayed, partly through the opening of the North-Western Railway and partly on account of the octroi duties which have diverted trade to the neighboring village of Saukin Wind. Hand-printed cotton stuffs were the only manufacture of importance.

The municipality was created in 1867. The income during the ten years ending 1902-3 averaged Rs. 7,900, and the expenditure Rs. 7,800. The income in 1903-4 was Rs. 8,000, chiefly from octroi ; and the expenditure was Rs. 6,900. The town had an Anglo-vernacular high school maintained by the District board, and a Government dispensary.[4]

Upto 1945, it was a thriving town with equal population of Hindu and Muslim. The market was run mostly by Jain traders of the duggad clan. They dealt in agri goods, garments and were Commission agents. It is the birthplace of reverened Jain Acharya Kanshiram Maharaj.
