Sahiwal Division

Sahiwal Division is an administrative region in east-central Punjab comprising three districts: Sahiwal, Okara, and Pakpattan. The territory spans flat agricultural land and sits strategically between larger cities, serving as an important connection point in the province.

The region was established in 2008 following an administrative reorganization that separated territories from the former Lahore and Multan divisions. This restructuring was part of Punjab's broader governance changes during that period.

The region is home to the archaeological site of Harappa, where visitors can see remains from the ancient Indus Valley civilization and learn how people lived thousands of years ago. Walking through these ruins reveals the sophistication of one of the world's earliest urban settlements.

The N-5 National Highway runs through the region, connecting to Lahore in the north and Multan in the south for easy travel. Most visitors access the area via this main highway, which is well-maintained and handles both passenger and commercial traffic.

The Sahiwal cattle breed originated in this region and is recognized for its high milk production capacity. This breed has been exported to countries around the world and has become valuable in modern farming practices.
