The Village is divided into sections. Amarpur Pali: Named for Amarapali, who stayed there for many years. Nigar Pali is the eastern part of Pali, named after the battle between the people of Kako and Pali. The battle was fought over control of water, ultimately leading the people of Pali to break the dam. It was built on the canal for the purpose of irrigation. 'Nigar' is an Urdu word for irrigation. Makhdumpur Pali was named for Shahabuddin Pir Jagjoth, who was the father of Bibi Kamal of Kako. Whenever he met with her, he came to Pali.[1]
