 During British colonialism, as like their predecessors, they built a check post and police station at the bank of Kabul River and fastened a floating bridge over the river.Since the Pakistan Movement which led to the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the local government of Pakistan has been using the British's check-post as "Jehangira Police Station" and in 1970 an enforced hollow-core concrete bridge was constructed over the River, known as Jehangira bridge.The bridge first time came under water for few hours on 30 July, during 2010 floods.
