Consultancy facilities will be appointed for this purpose beneath the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Rules to make sure that the historic charter of the city rests undamaged during the separation.
The City District will include the tehsils of the city:
- Thokar Niaz Baig
- Model Town
- Kahna,
- Raiwind
Meanwhile the Saddar district will include the tehsils of:
- Ferozewala
- Kot Abdul Malik
- Shalimar
- The Cantonment
- Harbanspura
Each tehsil will be further distributed into many revenue circles.
The City tehsil will consist of the Lahore Khaas, Shahdara, Naulakha, Sanda, the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA), and Sharaqpur circles and the Thokar Niaz Baig tehsil will inldue the Thokar Niaz Baig, Chuhng, and Maraka circles.
the Senior Member of the Board of Revenue, Babar Hayat Tarar said: “The participants were apprised that the meeting of the technical group had convened to discuss the progress upon the implementation of the decision taken during the meeting of the technical group held on Nov 26, 2020.
