Abbaspur azad kashmir

this is a pradise inside of kashmir .This town originally named as Gowpal Pur before the independence after that it was re named in early 1950s as Abbaspur after a pro-Pakistani Kashmiri leader Chaudhry Ghulam Abbas. Before partition of Indian and Pakistani Kashmir Gowpal Pur was an unknown place primarily used to breed cows. That is where the original name of GOWPALPUR meaning (Cows breeding place) came from.
In 1947, during the Indo-Pak war over Kashmir, Muslim residents of Poonch city and neighboring towns rushed to this site for a temporary refuge. Their main purpose to hanging around this area was to wait for a cease-fire and then go back to their permanent homes in Poonch. After few years the immigrant residents realized that their dream to go back to their native areas was far from true. Thus those immigrants started to rebuild their lives in this area. Immigrants from Poonch and neighboring towns brought a rich culture of business, education and social city life to this area. [2]
The population of Abbaspur is estimated at 100,000 people residing in two localities called Mahmoud Gali and Bari Gali. Also known as "Taat", the place is inhabited by major ethnic tribes called Gurjar, Maldiyal and Khawajas followed by other minor tribes like Sadat, Awan, Malik, Sheikh, Duli, Sudhan, Querashi, Kayani, Minhas, Magray, Satti, and more. Although a mix of numerous tribes, the area is peaceful and incidences of theft, murder or harrasment is at a record low.
