context_page_description: Naushehra Pannuan is a large village located in the Tarn Taran district in the Indian State of Punjab. The village is believed to be the largest village of the Pannu Jatt Sikh clan. Naushehra holds a prominent position in Punjabi state politics with a number of state politicians vying for candidacy in the Naushehra Constituency each year.
  The village experienced violence during the military conflict between the Indian Government and separatist groups in the 1980s.
context_section_description: The first reference to Naushehra Pannuan in a book can be found in Buta Singh's Geographical description of Punjab written in the 1840s. In the book, he reports that Naushehra had "700 homes and 50 shops". He also mentioned that the land was owned by Pannu Jatts.
  The first modern public-development project in Naushehra Pannuan was a local canal extension to the Upper Bari Doab irrigation network implemented by the British Raj in 1859. The villagers helped excavate this canal, and it has irrigated the local farmland since its construction.
  The 1890 flu pandemic greatly affected Naushehra, killing a large percentage of its population. As a result of large-scale deaths, the villagers decided to abandon the original town centre, which they believed was riddled with rats, and relocated to outer areas of the village. The citizens of Naushehra moved to the new patti of Jagpur. Similarly, the villagers of nearby sub-village of Chaudriwala decided to move from the original town centre to the current location of Chaudriwala.
