Chak 4GD

Before British colonization the village was known as Gulam Rasool Wala (Urdu: غلام رسول والا), after its Punjabi founder. Hafiz Ghulam Rasool, who was the forefather of the Jat Jura family living in the village. 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.[3]

The primary religion of the village is Islam,[4] 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.

The 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.

The majority of residents belong to the Rajput Kamyana (Urdu: کمیانہ) clan. This group descends from the tribe of Hazrat Mian Kamman, a figure who is buried east of Islampur in Old Kamman within the ghoripal land possessed by Mian Asim Kamyana, essentially a subcaste of Dhudhi (Urdu: ڈھڈی راجپوت). There are some Lahi - Kharal (Urdu: لہی - کھرل ), Bhatti (Urdu: بھٹی) and some also belong to Jat Jura (Urdu: جٹ جرا) families.

In the years 1980 to 2000, Haji Mian Bashir Ahmad Kamyana was the one of the active political leader. He had a lot of worth in4/G.D and the villages surrounding it. His son Mian Shaheen Kamyana and also Chairman of 4gd union Council. was also the Public leader, he had an intelligent mind for making decisions. Politically, this village struggles to be represented in the local government. Chaudhry Saif Ullah Jat Jura was also elected as General Councillor and his father Chaudhry Abdullah Qazi Was also General Councillor from the village. Chaudhry Muhammad Shahbaz Jat Jura is also selected as Chairman Ushr and Zakat Committee Second Time. Jat Jura family has a great influence on the politics of the village. The Kamyana clan do not form the majority in the larger local constituency and other clans like Kharal, Bhatti, and Lashari mostly win local elections. As a result, Chak 4/G.D receives disproportionately less development funds from the government.

Sports are a big source of entertainment, especially among local youth. Cricket, volleyball, badminton and football are the most popular sports. The local boys' high school is used as the center of sporting activities because there are no dedicated facilities for sports events. Young students often organize sports with neighboring villages on their own initiative.
