Punjab

About Punjab

Punjab’s landscape includes extensive river plains, the Potohar plateau and the Cholistan desert. Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan and Gujranwala are among the province’s major cities. These different settings make the district and tehsil names useful when distinguishing places with similar local names.

Use this directory to move from a division to its districts, then open a district to see its listed tehsils. The names and totals below describe the records held on this website. They are a reference dataset rather than a statement that every administrative boundary is current.

Postal delivery follows post-office service areas. A city’s main GPO code should not be used for every address in the district. Open a related postal directory and check the named locality or post office before selecting a code.
