Dugri is clustered around the village center Gurudwara Damdama Sahib,[1] which is the holiest Gurdwara of Sikhism in the neighborhood. The Gurudwara has been established due to the fact that Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Guru Hargobind ji visited this holy place. It also has certain temples such as Sheetla Mata Mandir situated right near the entrance to the village. Dugri is also the birthplace of Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila.

The village was under the rule of Panchayati Raj until 1996year. At present the village falls under ward 61 administered by councillor Rakhwinder singh[2]
