Chiniot District

The district spans 2,643 square kilometers across three tehsils: Bhowana, Chiniot, and Lalian, with both urban and rural settlements throughout the region.

The area transformed from a barren desert between Chenab and Ravi rivers into irrigated land following the construction of the Chenab canal in the late 19th century.

Local craftsmen in the district maintain traditional furniture-making techniques, producing intricate wooden pieces that represent Punjab's artisanal heritage.

The district manages its administrative functions through a commissioner-led system, with its headquarters located in the city of Chiniot.

The district contains architectural landmarks such as Omar Hayat Mahal, a nineteenth-century palace featuring detailed wooden craftsmanship.
