Uri[1] is a town and a tehsil in the Baramulla district, in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.[2] Uri is located on the left bank of the Jhelum River, about {{convert|10|km|mi}} east of the Line of Control with Pakistan.

Location

Uri is located at the entrance to the Kashmir Valley from the west, lying on the Jhelum Valley Road.{{sfn|Dasgupta, War and Diplomacy in Kashmir|2014|p=64}} Prior to the partition of Kashmir, the road linked Uri to Rawalpindi and Srinagar. Another important road linked Uri to Poonch via the Haji Pir pass.[3]

Uri is at a distance of 76 miles from Srinagar, 42 miles from Muzaffarabad and 49 miles from Poonch.[3]

History

Hari Singh Nalwa (r. 1820–1823), the Sikh commander-administrator of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, built the fort of Uri.[4][5]

Following the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845–1846) and the Treaty of Amritsar (1846), Raja Gulab Singh was proclaimed the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, acquiring all the lands between the Ravi River and the Indus.[6]{{rp|51-52}} Uri became a tehsil in the Muzaffarabad district of the Kashmir province.{{sfn|Snedden, Kashmir: The Unwritten History|2013}}

On 22 October 1947, the tribal invasion led to the fall of Muzaffarabad and Uri to the Pashtun tribes from Pakistan. The raiders then halted at Baramulla.{{sfn|Raghavan, War and Peace in Modern India|2010|p=58}} Following the accession of the Maharaja to India on 26 October, India air lifted troops to the Kashmir Valley, who retook Baramulla and Uri by mid-November.{{sfn|Raghavan, War and Peace in Modern India|2010|p=114}} The Indian government attached utmost importance to the defence of Uri.{{sfn|Raghavan, War and Peace in Modern India|2010|p=123}} Muzaffarabad, on the other hand, came under Pakistani control and became the capital of Azad Kashmir. The tehsil of Uri was subsequently merged into the Baramulla district.
