Before Partition of Punjab Qila Sura Singh was inhabited by Sikh Labanas who were mainly land owners, farmers, soldiers, and civil workers.

After partition mostly all of the Sikh villagers migrated to the eastern half of Punjab, and what later became Haryana.

Most of the refugees left before the major riots began in August, traveling through Jammu into Punjab.

The inhabitants of Qila Sura Singh were accompanied by Sikhs and Hindus from surrounding areas.

The descendants of the aforementioned refugees can be found mainly in the Doab region of the Punjab and Ambala district of Haryana.
