The most notable thing in the centre of the village is two graveyards which are both deeply respected by the citizens of Chellianwala, a few lakh rupees have been donated by provincial government with the efforts of ex-chairman Chellianwala CH Nasir Ahmed son of CH Ghulam Ahmad from the royal Amireke family(Ch Tuman Khan, Ch Jaahan Khan, Ch Ghulam Sarwar) and efforts are still being put in to highlight its historical importance and military significance, this has so far been a success |
