Kujjianwala (کجیانوالہ), formerly known as Kujjianwala, is a small town in Kasur, Punjab, Pakistan. It was founded by Peir Muhammad, who is the predecessor of Haji Muhammad Rafiq, credited to him as Rafiq Villas. Peir Muhammad founded this great village about 1000 years ago.
Just before the entrance, there is Pak Cattle Feed factory, a famous company in Pakistan for cattle feed. There are very amazing green scenes which enhances the beauty of this town as shown by the image.
Haji Muhammad Rafiq

Infrastructural development
[edit]Infrastructural development has been very late in this town. Electricity was installed in 1980 and landline phones in 1998. Mobile industry sprang out in Pakistan in about 2002 but in Rafiq villas, there are great signal problems still. However, amazingly Mr. Khurram has installed a very advanced wifi network in Rafiq Villas which is appreciated by villagers and has made them known of the new technology.
