Mian Channu (Mian Channun)
Mian Channu, alternately spelled Mian Chunnun, is the capital city of Mian Channu Tehsil in Khanewal District, Punjab province of Pakistan.
The city was named after a Sufi saint, Baba Mian Channu, who had lived there at one point. After his death, he was buried there. There is an urban legend about the name; it is believed that during the British rule, administration attempted to change the name of the city. They painted all boards with the new name. However, an unknown vandal changed the boards back to the original name. They tried repeatedly in vain, and since then, the name of the city remained 'Mian Channu'.
Mian Channu has many services and areas for its inhabitants, as well as tourists, such as educational institutions, a medical unit, a railway station, a fruit mandi, a park, and a public library. A mosque, temple, and gurdwara was built to perform religious services for all communities.
