Chak 90/ML is a village located in Karor Lal Easan Tehsil, Layyah District, in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. It possesses fertile land on the bank of the Thal Canal built by the British Indian Government during the 1940s. This land of Thal desert was barren and sandy before migrants from Hoshiarpur District, now in Indian Punjab, who had been rendered refugees during the partition of India, settled here and used the water from Thal Canal to irrigate their fields. Initially, the land was very fertile in patches where sugarcane, cotton, and wheat were grown successfully and contributed to the country's economy. Some areas consist of sand dunes where in Rabi season Gram crop is grown successfully. One of the major portions of Gram yield is produced from the Thal desert. With the passage of time schools, roads, and lined watercourses were developed by Government. A high school for boys was constructed in 1976 while a high school and college for Girls were built later on.
