Districts of Pakistan
|
|
Here is a list of all of the districts of Pakistan as of 2003. (This list may contain some small errors). The number of districts in Pakistan has grown since 1947.
Under the older system in effect before August 2000, the district was the fourth level of government. Pakistan was divided into provinces which contained administrative units called divisions which contained districts. In August 2000, under the new system, the division was abolished as an administrative tier, and the provinces are directly divided into districts.
A district is further subdivided into tehsils (roughly equivalent to counties.) Tehsils may contain villages or municipalities. There are over five thousand local governments in Pakistan. Since 2001, the vast majority of these have been led by democratically elected local councils, each headed by a Nazim (the word means "coordinator" or "supervisor" in Urdu, but is sometimes translated as "mayor.")
The Karachi district as it stands today was made by merging the districts of Karachi Central, Karachi East, Karachi South, Karachi West and Malir.
