The Punjab government has given approval for the division of Lahore into two districts, sources have told a media outlet, revealing that the administrative move will lead to the separation of deputy commissioners, police administration and municipal systems in the provincial capital. Under the proposed setup, each district will function with its own administrative structure.

 

 

According to the report, the separation is aimed at addressing issues related to traffic management, encroachments, local government matters and public complaints. The sources stated that the division will allow authorities to deal with these issues without administrative overlap.

 

 

The objective behind the move, as per the sources of the news outlet, is to make service delivery fast, effective and closer to the public. The new arrangement is intended to bring administrative functions nearer to residents by dividing responsibilities between two districts.

 

 

Following the approval, the chief minister directed relevant departments to immediately complete preparations for the division. Concerned departments have been instructed to finalise arrangements linked to the new administrative structure.

 

 

Sources said a follow-up meeting regarding the division of Lahore has been scheduled for February 9. The meeting will review progress made by departments and assess readiness for the implementation process.

 

 

The decision has been taken purely on administrative grounds and is not based on political considerations. The move is being planned to improve governance mechanisms within the city, officials said.

 

 

The creation of two districts will help improve administrative handling and allow public grievances to be addressed in a timely manner.
