Kotkapura, kkp the abreiated may be small in size but not in depth of wordliness. It stays conected with the world economically, politically and socially. Even created big names in commerce like DHODHA, philonthropy like Dr Amarjit S. Marwah and in art history Like Dr. Subash Parihar. Once the biggest cotton market of Asia, now cries for infrastructure.
Politics just took it for granted suppressing the local leadership. Hence, no voice in the power circles. The lone achievement in the recent years is the Railway overbridge On the 'Bannd Pia Darwaja Jeo Phatak Kotkapure da'. The roads are lost in mudholes ;The leaders in the corrodors of power. Kotkapura never won the game of power, The winners were Brars-Harcharn, Mantar, Ripjit etc or the congress bandwagon. All fighting for individual or group interests. The city never on the agenda. Omkar Goyal, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry terms them as cannon-smoke. The city is known far and wide for its peculiar sweets- DHODHA. Chetna Parkashan, the leading publisher of Punjab literary books has put the city on a high pedestal of literature by opening its spacious showroom at Qila Road
kotkapura is a nice city. I love to read about it.-Sukhwant singh doad
