The municipality changed its name but people know the colony as Jamaipura. This colony of Baghpat district falls on Mubarakpur-Fakharpur road of Khekra Municipality. It is said that four families came here earlier. They settled their respective sons-in-law here. After this, the girl whose palanquin was raised from Khekra town, bid farewell to her father, but the girl’s husband got employment and a plot here, his house was built and he was kept here. Not just one or two but all 300 families are like this here. People started calling this new colony by the name of Jamai Pura. Because most of the people came and settled here from outside.
Employment was also the reason

Municipality named Prempuri
People also look at Jamai Pura Colony with love. After marriage, most of the husbands started living with their wives. The people of Khekra kept calling him son-in-law and guest.

When his daughter got married, his son-in-law also started living here. In 37 years this colony became home to 300 families.
