In November 1947, the Indian Army reached Kotli and evacuated the garrisons of the town. The Pakistani Army along with the local population and aided by the tribesmen of the Khyber Pakhtunkhawa province arrived and counter-attacked, forcing the Indian Army to abandon it. Kotli has been under Pakistani rule since.
