Burewala (Punjabi: بورے والہ), is a city of Vehari District in Punjab, Pakistan. The city of Burewala is the headquarters of Burewala Tehsil, an administrative subdivision of the district. It is the 27th largest city of Pakistan by population.
==History== Burewala is situated on the Delhi–Multan Road. The Sutlej River crosses Burewala near the towns of Kachi Pakki, Jamlera, and Sahuka. The Shrine of Haji Sher Dewan Chawli Mashaikh is located in Dewan Sahib, approximately 18 km from Burewala. Before its settlement, the area was covered with jungle and was later inhabited by the Dhuddi tribe of Rajputs. With the operation of the Pakpattan Canal, agriculture began to flourish, leading to the establishment of villages and the clearing of jungles for cultivation. As this area was part of the 'Eastern Canal Division', it was designated as village no. 118/EB (EB = Eastern Barr). In the northern part of Burewala Tehsil, remnants of an old water canal still exist, now known as Sukh Bias.
