Transport 
During the historical epoch of British colonial rule, Hakla occupied a significant position within the Punjab province, earning renown for its agricultural prowess, notably in the cultivation of wheat and cotton. The British administration played a pivotal role in the region's infrastructural development by constructing a railway line that facilitated connectivity between Hakla and other areas in the Punjab region. In modern times, Hakla has become a strategic location due to the construction of the Hakla-Dera Ismail Khan Motorway and the new China-Pakistan Economic Corridor which passes through the area. The Hakla Interchange on the motorway has become a significant transportation hub. In addition, the Pakistan Army has established a new cantonment in Hakla for the training of troops. Chak Perana railway station is nearby. History 
The history of Hakla began in the time of Alexander The Great's invasion of India. One of his Macedonian soldiers had a similar name to Hakla got injured in the Battle of the Hydaspes and recovered in the city of Bucephala (a city founded in order to commemorate the death of Alexander's horse, Sarosh). He and his family along with others migrated to the present site of Hakla pind and established a small hut. The population of the settlement grew, but due to its distance from water sources, Hakla did not become a major population centre. Which prompted for the descendants and most of inhabitants to migrate further in to different parts of indian subcontinent, Which resulted in assimilation of descendants through marriages in to native castes and religions. The arrival of the Mughals in the early 15th century sparked an influx of people and subsequently Gujjar, Jat, Rajput and Sikh families began settling in the area.The descendants of Hakla use surname or title hakla along with their cast.
