Although the town is very historical and important but due to lake of Govermental Intrest Revenue had been the main problem of this town,even now in 21st century. Unfortune for the town,when British laid the railway line from Peshawar to Sind through Bahawalpur State, it passed through Sadiqabad. Its status of tehsil was confiscated in the favour of Sadiqabad another village, later turned into a busy city. Ahmad pur lamma became a town committee, a sad incident for the locals.
