Shimlapuri is a mixed-use area in Ludhiana city in Punjab, India.
It has small scale industry, and a population of about 400. It is along Sidhwan Canal and includes both residential and industrial buildings.
The relatively small neighborhood has been the scene of several suicides and/or murders between 2016 and 2024, which the Indian media often labels as "died under mysterious circumstances" or similar euphemism for taboo issues.
The area has been described in the Indian media in early 2025 as a "slum" in need of "rehabilitation". According to unofficial media estimates, the neighborhood has "a population of 400," consisting of 50 families with 300 children. Local commissioner Jitendra Jorwal appealed to think of the children, that is to say, "the long-term vision of the project, which aims to secure a brighter future for slum children," and "that this project will serve as a stepping stone to secure a bright future for children in the slum by facilitating their admission into nearby schools after proper educational counseling."
The Postal pin code is 141003.
