Khem Karan is an old city. Guru Tegh Bahadur (1621-1675) visited it. When the Pakistani army captured Khem Karan, it damaged the old gurudwara which was rebuilt after the Indian army recaptured the town during the war.
It used to be in Lahore district before partition of India. It became a part of Amritsar district after the partition. Now it is in Tarn Taran district. The town used to be easily accesible to the city of Kasur only 15km away, and to Ferozepur 35km away, but since Partition, it is a far distance to any major city since Kasur now lies in Pakistan, and the route to Ferozepur cuts through Pakistan and so is inaccessible to the town's residents. The town's residents must now travel a long distance to Amritsar or Tarn Taran to procure any major goods, causing great inconvenience. the famous person of the khem karan was master tara singh dhanjal.

Khem Karan (Punjabi: ਖੇਮਕਰਨ) is a town and a nagar panchayat in Tarn Taran district in the Indian state of Punjab. It was the site of a major tank battle in 1965 resulting it also being known as the graveyard of tanks.[1]
The 1965 Indo-Pakistani War was witness to the largest tank battle in military history since World War II. This battle led to the creation of Patton Nagar (or Patton City) at the site of the battle viz., Khemkaran. This is because many Patton tanks fielded by the Pakistani forces were either captured or destroyed at the scene.
Pakistan army captured it in the 1965 war with India after a fierce battle. However, the Indian army took it back during the war.
