Pasrur (Urdu: پسرُور), is a city of Sialkot District in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The city is the capital of Pasrur Tehsil and is administratively subdivided into two Union councils.
It is located at 32°16'0N 74°40'0E with an altitude of 238 metres (784 feet). The nearest big cities are Sialkot, Narowal and Gujranwala.
Pasrur was originally called kullay wali after Paras Ram, Brahman, to whom the town was assigned by its founder. Pasrur is mentioned by Mughal Emperor Babar in Baburnama as a halting-place between Sialkot and Kalanaur, and seems to have once been of considerable importance. It possesses a large tank, constructed in the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. To feed this, Dara Shikoh dug a canal, traces of which are still extant. Nearby are the remains of a bridge built by Shah Daula. The Rajput population and the former Rajput states are found spread through much of South Asia, particularly in north, west and central Sialkot in Punjab.
