At the turn of the 20th century, Shukul Bazar was described as the only real town in the otherwise mostly rural tehsil of Musafirkhana.[2] It had an important market and was the headquarters of a police thana which, despite its small jurisdiction, was very busy due to a lot of unrest in the area.[2] It also had a post office and one of the largest schools in the tehsil.[2]

The market at Shukul Bazar is held on Wednesdays and Sundays and mostly deals in cloth.[4] As of 1961, it had an average attendance of around 500 people.[4] At that point, the town also had a government-run dispensary with 2 beds for males and 2 for females, and it had a police force consisting of 1 sub-inspector, 1 head constable, and 12 constables.[4]
