Sahiwal (Sargodha) Tehsil

Sahiwal Tehsil, situated in the southeastern portion of Sargodha District, represents a distinct administrative unit not to be confused with the larger Sahiwal District in southern Punjab. This tehsil encompasses a predominantly agricultural landscape characterized by fertile farmlands irrigated by the Lower Jhelum Canal system, supporting diverse cropping patterns including wheat, rice, citrus orchards, and vegetable cultivation.

The tehsil headquarters in Sahiwal town serves as the administrative and commercial center for 24 union councils spanning rural and semi-urban areas. The town's strategic location along connecting roads between Sargodha City and the eastern tehsils has fostered steady commercial growth, with wholesale markets serving agricultural trading needs and retail centers providing consumer goods to surrounding villages.

Local governance in Sahiwal operates through the Municipal Committee, which manages urban services including water supply, sanitation, street lighting, and local road maintenance. The committee also handles civic documentation including birth and death registration, trade licensing, and building plan approvals within municipal limits. Rural areas fall under Union Council administration coordinated through the Assistant Commissioner's office.

The judicial system serving Sahiwal includes Civil Courts handling property disputes, family matters, and civil litigation, with appeals routed to the District Courts in Sargodha City. The Tehsil Bar Association provides legal services and represents advocates practicing in local courts. Law enforcement operates through the Sahiwal Police Station under the Sargodha District Police hierarchy.
