GENERAL INFORMATION

Sikhs, Guru Nanak, who was born in the city and first began preaching here. Today it is a
city of high historic and religious value and a popular pilgrimage site for Sikhs from all over
the world. Gurudawara Nankana Sahib is a highly revered Gurdwara that was built at the
site where the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, was believed to be born. The shrine is
located in the city of Nankana Sahib, near the city of Lahore in the Pakistani Province
of Punjab. It comprises of three Tehsils; Nankana Sahib, Shahkot Sangla Hill.
HISTORY
Nankana Sahib is a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is located about 80 km
(50 miles) west of Lahore and about 75 km (47 miles) east of Faisalabad. The township was
founded by Rai Bhoi and thus was known as “Rai-Bhoi-Di-Talwandi”. His great-grand
son Rai Bular Bhatti, renamed it as 'Nankana Sahib' after the birth of Guru Nanak.
The Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, originally constructed in around 1600 CE was renovated in
1819–20 CE by Gian-Punjab Maharaja Jassa Singh Ramgarhia Sikh Conference of Punjab,
Jammu and Kashmir, Peshawar, Kangra and Hazara. During the Akali movement, on 20
February 1921, Narain Das, the Udasimahant (clergy) of the Gurudawara at Nankana Sahib,
ordered his men to fire on Akali protesters, leading to the Nankana massacre. The firing was
widely condemned, and an agitation was launched until the control of this historic Janam
Asthan Gurdwara was restored to the Sikhs. Again in the 1930s and 40's the Sikhs added
more buildings and more architectural design.
Migration between India and Pakistan was continuous before independence. By the 1900s
Western Punjab was predominantly Muslim and supported the Muslim League and Pakistan
Movement. After independence in August 1947, the minority Sikhs and Hindus migrated to
India while the Muslim refugees from India settled in the Western Punjab and across
Pakistan.
The area around Nankana Sahib was formerly a tehsil of Sheikhupura District. In May 2005,
the provincial government raised the status of Nankana Sahib to a District, as a way of
promoting development in the area.

The System was finally wrapped up in 1969 with the ouster of General
AyubKhan , its architect . The local government institutions remained suspended from 1969
to 1979. In 1979, General Zia-ul-Haq revived the local government system and elections
were held under the Punjab Local Government Ordinance 1979. During the civilian rule of
1988-99, four democratically elected political governments gained power, but the local
government system remained on the back burner in 2001, General Pervez Musharraf
introduced an ambitious Devolution of Power Plan, as result of Which the institution of
ZilaNazim was introduced at the head of the Zia Council .

29
 The tenure of the Zila Council was fixed as 4 years. However, no elections
were held after 2005, and the DCO was appointed as the Administrator on the expiry of term
in 2009. The local government system underwent yet another change and the Punjab Local
Government Act, 2013 was enacted. Act 2013 passed by the provincial assembly of the
Punjab on 21-08-2013 Elections under the 2013 Act were held in 2015, however, the elected
representatives assumed their responsibilities on January, 1,2017. The composition of the
District Council was fixed as follows:-
Chairmen District Council/ Vice 01
Chairman
Chairman Union Councils 65
Technocrat 01
Youth 01
Women 14
Minorities 03
Peasants / Workers 03

The system hardly worked for 2 years when all local governments, including
the District Council, were abolished once again on May, 4, 2019, and the Deputy
Commissioner was appointed as the Administrator of the District Council. It was announced
that the elections would be held, and new local government institutions established, within
one year
