Mong, Punjab

Mong or Mung (مونگ ) is a village and

Union Council of Mandi Bahauddin District in the Punjab province of Pakistan.^[1]

History

According to

Nicea have not been found yet, and any attempt to find the ancient battle site is doomed, because the landscape has changed somewhat.^[6] The 1910 edition of Encyclopædia Britannica cited Mong as the location of Nicaea,^[7]

but the latest edition does not state this.

According to The Imperial Gazetteer of India: "The overthrow of the

Yueh-chi."^[10]

Centuries later, at almost the same location, a few kilometers away from Mong, in the

Second Anglo-Sikh War, the British forces under Lord Gough and the Khalsa Sikh Army fought the Battle of Chillianwala

.
