Yazman Mandi
Yazman Mandi is a Tehsil of District Bahawalpur. It is located at the edge of the Cholistan Desert. It is also known as “Bab-e-Roohi,” which means “start of the desert.” Sir Muhammad Sadiq Khan Abbasi, the Nawab of Bahawalpur, advocated renaming the town “Yazman” and opening it up for settlement after visiting Iran and Iraq. As a result, several families from Sheikhupura and Faisalabad immigrated to help develop the area.
Each family was granted 23 acres. The Desert Bahawal Canal, built between 1926 and 1928, played a key contribution in making the area fruitful. Yazman Mandi became a notified area in 1957 and was granted Union Council status in 1960. After 1955, the next years ushered a new age of prosperity and progress, with the infrastructure being fully upgraded.
This city attained the title of Tahsil on July 1, 1984, and has made significant socioeconomic and agricultural improvement. It provides a variety of attractions for travelers. There are several historic and cultural sites in and around the city, including Cholistan Desert, the Shrine of Channan Pir, and Derawar Fort.
