MESSAGE FROM SENIOR MEMBER REVENUE
As per vision of the Government of the Punjab, Board of

Revenue is striving for provision of efficient, effective, and
transparent public service delivery through its field formations.
Good governance is dependent on evidence based planning,
formulation of policies accordingly and then implementation of
same. The district gazettccr being an essential document has
always remained helpful in providing a holistic view of the district.
It is not only the history of an area and its people but also contains
the information on the geographical makeup, social statistics and
physical features of a district. This tradition of writing and re-
writing of gazcttecr of the districts has now been revived by Board
of Revenue through its field formations i.e. district
administrations. Needless to say that the last gazetteers were published in Punjab more than 100 years
ago and many significant and important changes have taken place meanwhile in the region including
independence of Pakistan and creation of new administrative units.
Farsightedness, administrative acumen and financial integrity are imperative for better
administration. The Board of Revenue is cognizant of its obligation to take care of and provide for
comprehensive information of all districts which is equally useful for general public as well as
administrators and policy makers.
Devoted to excellence in public service delivery, the BOR, assisted by its motivated and committed
revenue officers and their staff in the field formations, works to sustain harmony in administration within
the districts. Towards this end, the BOR, is making utmost and sincere efforts and is leaving no stone
unturned to come up to the expectations of people of the Punjab who have unflinching faith in the abilities
of the Provincial Government to make their lives better.
These Gazetteers are an integral part of our history and future. After detailed discussions and
deliberations, further improvements and changes have been made in each draft. Academia has been
closely involved in writing of the new gazetteers, In principle, all Gazetteers conform to the pattern and
framework prepared by BOR which was sent to deputy commissioners for writing of thc district gazetteers.
It is hoped that revival of this tradition will help in better administration and planning for development and
socio-economic progress.

PAS SENIOR MEMBER, BOARD OF REVENUE, PUNJAB

FROM THE EDITORS’ DESK
It is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction that district Layyah is among the first revivers of
this tradition of having a detailed gazetteer of the district. It was a tradition set by the ICS officers who
used to write gazetteers delineating every exact aspect of the section. However, this legacy was not carried
out by its successors. Accordingly, no authentic document provides a comprehensive depiction of the
Layyah district. Therefore, it is needful to make the paper reflect the very need to document the district's
social, economic, and historical features in the form of a gazetteer.
One must appreciate that district Layyah is one of the heavily populated districts of Punjab with
a population of approximately 2.5 million. Therefore, it required a targeted effort from all stakeholders to
compile and present all the details about the district in a single reader-friendly document. As a result of
thorough discussion with the district administration and representatives of the concerned departments,
we embarked upon this journey of preparing a district gazetteer.
Today, we have a document thoroughly documenting the district's characteristics and the
necessary supplementary information. We, the team members of the District Administration Layyah , hope
that this gazetteer will not only be just an information provider but a source of inspiration for the readers.
The readers can relive the glorious past of Layyah while reading the chapter on the history and can also
analyze the contemporary issues that are faced by the administration and the residents of Layyah at large.
We have tried to provide a futuristic look by examining the challenges that are likely to arise in the future
and how the residents of Layyah can cope up with them.
In the end, we hope that this effort will pave a long way in letting the readers understand the
history, values, culture, and overall significance of district Layyah .

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The preparation of this district gazetteer could not have been possible without the support of the
people who have put their time and efforts to bring this document to fruition. I would like to thank all the focal
persons from different departments who continuously remained in touch with my team during the past 1-2
months and provided all the relevant information required.
I would also like to thank Assistant Commissioners of all tehsils in the district and the revenue staff,
and the SNA’s office staff. They, despite their busy schedule, invested their time in getting this document
compiled and published.

Deputy Commissioner,

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
It is generally believed that, Layyah is a derivative of ‘Lai’ a tamarisk shrub in whose coverts
the western settled part of the district once abounded. It was carved out of erstwhile Muzaffargarh
district in July 1982 with Karor Lal Eason and Chaubara as additional tehsils besides Layyah already
functioning as one. It is a roughly rectangular block of territory. Its greatest length from north to south
is 80 kilometers and greatest width from east to west is 104. The railway traverses the district from
north to south along the bourns of the riverine tract. The district is cold in winter and oppressively
hot in summer. The rain is very small.
Layyah got the status of district in 1982 and comprised of three Tehsils Layyah, Karor Lal Eson and
Choubara. Before coming under the administrative jurisdiction of district Layyah, Layyah was part of
Muzafargarh District. These arrangements had impacts on the social, political and economic
relationship of Layyah. Layyah is now part of Dera Ghazi khan Division along with the district of Jhang,
Muzafargarh and Rajanpur. All these four districts make the southernmost zone of Punjab. It lies
between 30-45 North latitude and 70-71 East longitude. The total area covered by the district is
6,291 km2 with a width from east to west of 88 km and a length from north to south of 72 km.
This District is surrounded in the north by Bhakkar District, in the south by Muzafargarh, in the east
by Jhang Districts and D.G Khan District lies in the west. River Indus flows on its western side across
which lies in district Bhakkar and on the South district Muzaffargarh. District Layyah comprises the
three tehsils of namely Layyah, Karor Lal Eson and Choubara. Current population of District Layyah is
1,824,230 having Urban 321,505 (162,924 Male and 158,517 Female) and rural 1,502,725 (762,399
Male and 740,300 Female) population. Total households reside in district are 268,244.

GEOLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY
The District Layyah has an extremely hot climate. The temperature in winter is low due to nearness
to Koh-Suleman range of mountains and Thal desert of Tehsil Choubara. The Tehsil Choubara is almost
barren and consists of range forest and sand dunes. It is actually a Rakh under the control of Forest
and Range management Department. The tehsil of Layyah and Karor are comparatively better
developed agriculturally but they have also large tracks of sand dunes and uncultivated land.
The soils in the district can be divided into two broader categories. The area/strip that lies along river
Indus is part of its active flood plain and composed of loamy and some stratified sandy soils that are
found in young flood plains. The area lying next to this is part of Thall desert. Here rolling to hilly sandy
soils of Aeolian deserts are found. The difference in soils structure and moisture regimes in the district
has translated into difference in the natural vegetation.
In the riverine zone, thorny vegetation is found where as in the desert zone, desertic and semi desertic
vegetation are found. In terms of natural use of land. Major portion of the district can be termed a
rough grazing land. The areas lying along and closer to river Indus are able lands. Small pockets of the
district are under the forest cover. Climatically Layyah is part of the hot, arid/dry zone of Pakistan.
The average annual rainfall is less than 33 mm. The area receives most of the rainfall during summer.
9|Page
The summers are long and very harsh. Dust storms are quite powerful and common in the desert
zone. In this zone, even during the summer, nights are very pleasant.
PHYSICAL ASPECTS
Layyah forms the northern district of Dera Ghazi Khan Division. Its western part runs along the
Indus. On the east the district marches with the Shorkot tehsil of Jhang District and Rangpur sub tehsil
of Muzaffargarh while to the west, the Indus winds its way southward. The divergence between the
Indus valley on the West of the district and its eastern and central sandy uplands in the most striking
physical feature of the territory. An approximately twelve kilometer wide alluvial belt stretching along
the Indus is known as the ‘Nashiab’: Pacca Nasheb and Katcha Nasheb. It is usually flooded in the
wake of Indus swelling. It is one third of the whole district and is a fascinating medley of rank
vegetation, creeks and well or ‘ sailaba’ cultivated stretches. Sugar Cane Wheat and Vegetable ar eteh
Principal crops of the area. The Thal tract comprises the greater portion of the district. Topographically
it may be divided into ‘Thal Kalan’ and ‘Thal Jandi’: Thal Kalan or the greater Thal occupies the eastern
portions of the district. The central portion is canal irrigated where sugar cane, Wheat cotton oil-seeds
and citrus are grown while the eastern portion is a real desert, devoid of loam and dependent upon
the capricious monsoon. Only ‘gpwara’ or gram is grown. Thal Jandi lies to the west of Thal Kalan,
having sandy loam, it is fairly flat. Chief crops of the tract are sugar cane, Wheat, Gawara and citrus.
FLORA
The katcha circle of the Nasheb in its river bed arrears abounds in the vast stretches of ‘Lai’
Jungles. Opposed to Katcha , the Pakka circle has Shisham, Tamarisk, Khaggal, Siris, Ber and Kikar.
Thal Kalaln is entirely treeless. However lana, Jal, Phog, Ak, Jand and kikar are abundanc.
FAUNA
In the Nasheb and elsewhere in forests pig are numerous. Fox and jackal are ubiquitous, Quails
visit there area in considerable number in March and September. The Thal is destitute of much animal
and bird life. Talur and sand grouse are commonly met with. The ravine deer whose herds the tract
could boast of once is a ‘might have been’ of the past.
RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE
Average annual rainfall is less than 25cm. The district receives main downpour in the months
of july and August and the cyclonic drizzling in late December and early January. In April hailstorms
are frequent. The summer days are the dogdays of the year. The mercury may rise even to 52 OC. The
normal temperature however remains 48/49 OC or around. During the winter the temperature goes
10 | P a g e
as down as -4 OC. Average maximum during the summer and winter is 45 OC and 20.5 OC
respectively. On the other hand average minimum temperature during both the seasons remains 28.5
OC and -5 OC.
CLIMATE
The climate is cold during the winter months, but in the summer the heat is oppressive and
sometimes aggravated by dust storms. Particularly in Thal it is excruciating. Hot winds known as ‘Lu’
increase the discomfort and wither the crops.
SCENERY
So far as the commonplace concepts of scenery go, Layyah is destitute of it. Nut it responds to
the pastoral taste: the undulating sand dunes amidst the wilderness of the Thal, dotted with
tumultuous growth of salvadora oleoides, bring home the beauties impressed by the hand work of
nature. And when ‘ the knell of paring day is tolled; and the ‘lowing herd winds over the lea’ The
nature descends to whisper to the morals. And away to the west where the mighty Indus swaggers
into lakes and back-waters the clumps of trees around the raised habitations transport the visitor to
the world of fantasy.
HISTORY
Nothing is known of the early history of the Layyah district. The formation of Thal is speculated
to have been made by the Indus through its drifts westward, to the present bed and there have been
traces of the wells in Thal. It would therefore be no strain on the imagination to conceive of a
settlement howsoever poor it might have been but nothing except the local traditions survives/
It appears that in 1469 A.D. Sultan Hussian obtained the Government of Multan. He held the
for of Karor Lal Eason. In those days, Mlaik Suhrab, a Dudai Baloch emigrated along with his sons from
Ketch Mekran and entered into the services of Sultan Hussain. The later assigned him the Lands of
Layyah besides other territories so that he could ward off the barbarians. This encouraged the main
Biloach immigration. These settlers were of Dodai stock: either Ismail Khans or Ghazi Khans. The lands
of Layyah which the Governor of Multan granted had been assigned to Ghazi Khan’s tribe know as
Mirranis. This occurred in 1550 A.D. the Mirranis founded kot Addu Kot Sultan and Layyah. The
Mirranis however lost their hold over Layyah. They were ousted in 1620 A.D. by Jaskanis. The latter
ruled over Layyah, Bhakkar and across the Thal to Chenab side till 1787 A.D when they were ousted
by Abdul Nabi Serai, a scion of the Kalhora family of Sind. He ruled only for three years. Afterwards,
Muhammad Khan, a cousin of Nawab Muzzafar Kha, of Mulatan, was made the Governor of the Sindh
11 | P a g e
Sagar Doab. He died in 1815 A.D. In 1821 Layyah was annexed by the Sikhas. In 1837 it came under
Diwan Sawan Mal, Governor of Multan. On 29 March 1849 the Punjab was annexed by British
Government.
Soon after the annexation Layyah was made a district with Mianwali, Bhakkar and Kot Addu
as its tehsils. It was also the headquarters of the Commissionership. In 1861 it was reduced to a tehsil
and made over to Dera Ismail Khan District. On 9th November 1901 the Minawali district was formed
with headquarters at Mianwali and Layyah as one of its tehsils. On 1st April 1909 the Layyah tehsil was
transferred to Muzaffargarh district since then it remained as such until july 1982 when it was
segregated from Muzaffargarh and made a district.

conflict between the ruling king of Afghanistan and his brother arose over the crown and throne.
Taking with him a caravan of Muslim and Christian allies, the king's brother fled the country in the
hope of receiving political asylum from the king of India. He brought his entire household, including
courtesans, slaves, and cattle. Hearing of the exodus, the king of Afghanistan pursued the caravan
with his armed forces. They attacked at the Sindharr clan's thatched house, which is said to have been
16 | P a g e
located where Habib Bank Limited is today. The king's forces engulfed the departed caravan and
slaughtered the men, women, children and cattle. It is claimed that the well in which they deposited
the dismembered bodies of the dead was so full, blood gushed out of it, giving way to it being formally
named "Khooni Chowk".
Later, when Colonel Muhammad Azam arrived, he purchased the land. He built a mosque that is the
central mosque of the city today; this led it to be named after Colonel Azam and called Chowk Azam.
The city's inhabitants consist mainly of Punjabi, Saraiki, Pashtun, and Rohitky communities, with the
majority being Punjabi. Punjabi people came to this region in the pre and post-partition era.
Agricultural peasants migrated from upper and central Punjab, mainly from Sialkot, Gujrat,

CHAPTER 3
SCHOOL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Except for a few government schools for boys and girls, all the recognized educational institutes in
LAYYAH were maintained and administered by the Local Bodies, e.g., the District Council, Municipal
Committees, Town Committees since the establishment of Pakistan. The Government took over the
control of Primary Education with effect from July 1, 1962. Consequent to this changeover, the
institutes in the district were placed under the supervision of a District Primary Education Committee
set up by the Government. The administration and management of the educational institutes up to
8th class were later also entrusted to the District Education Committee.
The educational affairs were under the supervision of the Divisional Inspector and a District Inspector
at the district headquarters with the assistance of Assistant Inspectors at the tehsil level up to June
30, 1973. The posts of District Education Officers at the office and Deputy District Education Officers
(Male and Female) at the tehsil level were produced on July 1, 1973. Later, in 1993, the department
was reorganized in the District, and posts of District Education Officer (Secondary Education), District
Education Officer (Male-Elementary Education), and District Education Officer (Women-Elementary
Education) were introduced.
With the promulgation of the Punjab Local Government Ordinance, 2001, the Executive District
Officer (Education) was appointed as the head of the department in the district who used to function
under the overall control of the District Coordination Officer (DCO). On January 1, 2017, the
department was re-designated as District Education Authority with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
as its head and the Deputy Commissioner as the Administrator. The District Education Authority also
looks after the Literacy Department as well as the Special Education Department.

ANNEX XII:
CAMP MANAGEMENT SOPS

 Camps would be established in areas accessible by metaled roads so that provision of essential
facilities is not difficult
 Basic facilities such as food, clean drinking water, health, hygiene and sanitation should be
available at these shelters.
 Proper registration mechanism should be in place to differentiate between those actually
affected and cunning opportunists
 Proper security system should be in place in coordination with the local police as the presence
of police always acts as deterrence for criminals who may be attracted to such places.
 Emergency medical care should be available as well as a proper firefighting system as fire out
breaks are common in such tents
 Proper camp management should be announced and notified and there should be a complaint
cell as well
 A proper distribution mechanism should be in place to ensure that the needy get what they
deserve.
 Scattered camps should be catered for and encouraged to join the main camp.
 At times shallow hand pumps are not safe for drinking as the water underground has been
affected. In such cases clean medicated water should be provided through water bowsers.
 Vector control is an essential part of the camp management and steps should be taken to
remove rats, snakes and mosquitoes etc.
 Un-accompanied and missing children shall be placed separately with proper care and
fulfilment of their physical and psycho-social needs.
 Needs of women as per local and cultural environment shall be considered for establishing
separate relief camps for ladies with provision of proper security and light arrangements.
Land 3.0-4.5 square meter per person
