Geography
editThis tehsil is further divided into several union councils, in which, Gogran, Laal Kamal and Jalla Arain are more famous.
Gogran
editThis area is very famous due to the holy shrine of Syed Nasruddin Shah and his forefathers in Mehrabad. His son Syed Rafi ud Din was also the member of Punjab Provincial Assembly during the General Elections of 2008 from Provincial Constituency PP-210.[citation needed] During his regime, Government Degree College Gogran and a Government Hospital were constructed in this area. Similarly, double road was constructed from Lodhran (Mundhali Morr) to Gogran in his reign.
Jalla Arain
editThis area is famous for a domestic sweet, called "Sohan Halwa". The name of this area is designed on the caste of "Arain" but there are several other caste fellows that live in this area. Mainly, this is an agricultural area. People usually belong to agriculture industry.
