Cotton industry was established by British government especially in Lyallpur which was renowned as the greatest industry of Pakistan. Cotton the white gold enhanced the position of spindles and spinning industry. These industries played important role in the economy of Pakistan generally and especially in Lyallpur, a city of Punjab.
