of Sialkot, Gujranwala, Montgomery, Lahore, Amritsar, and Gurdaspur. The total area of the division was

17,154 sq mi (44,430 km2) and the population according to the 1901 census of India was 5,598,463. [1] The

commissioner for the division also exercised political control over the hill state of Chamba.Lahore division is

composed of Lahore, Okara, Kasur and Sheikhupura.(2012)

development in the area, and investment from Indian Sikhs.
