Keeping in view the increasing population as well as various urban issues, the government has finally decided to bifurcate Lahore City district into City and Saddar districts, in order to manage the administrative and financial matters in a better way.
The Lahore DC explained that the proposal of the creation of two new administrative districts, namely Lahore City and Lahore Saddar, in the present Lahore city district.
Accordingly, five new tehsils will be created in the two proposed districts. This is likely to result in the creation of five new tehsils — Ferozewala, Thokar Niaz Baig, Kahna, Kot Abdul Malik and Harbanspura — in the proposed districts.
In this regard, The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Lahore has been directed to prepare a PC-2 to conduct an impact assessment study for geographic and social/cultural cohesion. Consultancy services will be hired for this purpose under the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Rules to ensure that the historic charter of the city remains intact during the division.
The City District will comprise the tehsils of the City, Thokar Niaz Baig, Model Town, Kahna, and Raiwind
While the Saddar district will comprise the tehsils of Ferozewala, Kot Abdul Malik, Shalimar, the Cantonment, and Harbanspura.
Each tehsil will be further divided into numerous revenue circles.
The City tehsil will include the Lahore Khaas, Shahdara, Naulakha, Sanda, the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA), and Sharaqpur circles and the Thokar Niaz Baig tehsil will comprise the Thokar Niaz Baig, Chuhng, and Maraka circles.
Model Town consist of Ichhra and Nawan Kot qanungois; Kahna will consist of Kahna, Kamahan and Pandoki qanungois; while Raiwind tehsil will include Raiwind, Paji, Manga and five mauzas from Kasur district.
The circiles proposed to be added to Ferozewala tehsil will be areas from GT Road to the east side, including Kala Khatai road till Shalimar tehsil along with four Ruda revenue estates of Muridke tehsil.
Kot Abdul Malik tehsil will have areas from GT Road to the west side, including Lahore-Sheikhupura road and Lahore-Jaranwala road up to Sharaqpur tehsil.
The Shalimar tehsil will include Baghbanpura, Lakhudair and Benaseen.
Cantt comprise Cantt, Heer and Jahman; while Harbanspura tehsil will consist of Jallo, Fatehgarh, Barki and Bhangali circles.
The expansion and the bifurcation of the city would be helpful for citizens to travel to the offices of the district administration at a considerable distance from their areas for routine official tasks, which now causes wastage of their time.
