In total, there are 9 divisions, which are further divided in the different districts ranging from three to five depending upon area.[2] Divisions are governed by Commissioners while districts are governed by Deputy Commissioners.

History

Administrative divisions had formed an integral tier of government from the times of Mughal Empire and laterly British Raj. The Lahore and Multan Subahs (combinedly Punjab) during Mughal era while Punjab Province during British era were subdivided into divisions, which were themselves subdivided into districts.

After independence, The province of West Punjab had four divisions – Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi and Sargodha. From 1955 to 1970, during One Unit policy the Princely State of Bahawalpur was joined with West Punjab and made part of Bahawalpur Division. With the passage of time the number of divisions increased and now there are nine divisions.
