 The one time seat of Jaswan state, Amb is situated on Dharamsala-Una-Chandigarh road, about 32 kms. from Una. In the good old days it was known for its gardens of Jaswal rajas. Amb was raised to the status of Sub-divisional headquarter after the reorganization of the districts in 1972. As the buses coming from Hoshiarpur to Hamirpur, Chandigarh-Una-Amb-Nadaun-Jawalamukhi and from Kangra-Chandigarh-Delhi and Talwara-Mubarikpur-Una pass through Amb, so it is an important town. There is a Govt. Degree College at Amb. People of the area are eagerly awaiting that day when Amb will be on the proposed Una-Talwara-Mukerian rail link which will definitely go a long way in opening the new vistas of economic development. |
