Jagadhri

Jagadhri is in Ambala Division in the northern Indian state of Haryana.

Understand

Jagadhri is adjacent to the newer city of Yamunanagar. As such, they are twin cities and in modern times have merged into a single metropolitan area.

The city was traditionally known for its brassware industry, giving it the moniker "Brass City". It has since shifted to becoming a centre of the timber trade in Haryana, being home to a number of paper mills.
