chak No. 4/G.D. (Punjabi, ''') is a village near Renala Khurd in Pakistan. It is located in a fertile area just under 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) north of the city across the Lower Bari Doab canal. It is the main village on the Chuchak Road and is also a union council center.The population here depends on agriculture, although many people work in other fields such as defense, teaching, and engineering. It has a co-ed High school, a branch of National Bank of Pakistan (branch code 1577), an agricultural office, and also a veterinary hospital.HistoryBefore British colonization the village was known as Gulam Rasool Wala, after its Punjabi founder. During the establishment of a British canal in this area, the region was divided based on the water availability with the name 4/G.D which actually refers to 4th Gugera Drain(4/G.D). Such a naming practice was common for the British to re-purpose and identify conquered villages.ReligionThe primary religion of the village is Islam, with a large number of Ahl al-Hadith and also Sunni. There are two mosques in the village, one of each denomination. Peace, harmony and good social relations exist between the religious factions of the town. Due to its proximity to the Indian Border, the town also bears influences of Hinduism and Sikhism which existed in this region before the India-Pakistan Partition in 1947.EconomicsThe fertile soil in the region surrounding the village of Chak 4/G.D has created an economy dependent on agriculture, as it is located near a Doab (a confluence of two or more rivers). However, availability of agricultural land is limited due to the tightly packed farms of neighboring villages, which has led local people to pursue other fields such as business and government jobs.
