Chappar Chiri has a special place in Sikh history. It was here that Banda Singh Bahadur, one of the most respected warriors in Sikh history, won the battle against Wazir Khan, who commanded the Mughal army. The battle was fought in 1710. Recently Chappar Chirri was in news when Mr Parkash Singh Badal chose this place to hold the swearing-in ceremony, on March 14, 2012, after emerging victorious in the Assembly elections.
