Lahore, Administrative division in Lahore District, Pakistan.
Lahore is an administrative division in Punjab Province that spreads across densely built residential neighborhoods, military grounds, and green spaces. The structure includes several sectors with broad main roads and narrow side lanes connecting different residential and commercial zones.
The formation as an independent municipality took place in the year 2000, when the territory came under military administration. This change separated the zone from civilian city governance and established a separate system for public services and infrastructure.
Morning markets fill with vendors selling fresh vegetables and meat, while families gather on rooftop terraces to drink tea and talk in the residential quarters. Small mosques open for prayer several times a day, and children play in the narrow lanes between houses.
Access to public facilities and services is provided through local administrative offices responsible for infrastructure and municipal matters. Visitors should note that military areas are not freely accessible and may require special permissions.
The territory houses the headquarters of the 4 Corps of Pakistan Army and combines military facilities with civilian residential quarters such as Defence Housing Authority. This mix of military and civilian use shapes the administrative structure and daily life of residents.
