Overview

Muridke Tehsil is an administrative subdivision — locally called a tehsil — within Sheikhupura District in Punjab, Pakistan. The tehsil is administered from the city of Muridke, which functions as its headquarters. The unit was created in the mid-2000s when parts of neighboring Ferozewala Tehsil were reorganized to form a distinct local government area.

Towns, settlements and administrative structure

The tehsil comprises a mix of urban and rural settlements. Besides Muridke city, it contains several towns and numerous villages. Notable localities include Narang Mandi, a market town serving surrounding agricultural areas, and nearby industrial and research localities such as Kala Shah Kaku. Administratively, a tehsil typically contains multiple union councils and municipal bodies that manage local services, land records and basic civic infrastructure.

Economy and notable sites

Muridke Tehsil’s economy combines agriculture, industry and trade. The area around Muridke supports crop cultivation and related markets. Industrial activity includes textile and manufacturing plants; the Ravi Rayon factory complex is one of the better-known industrial installations in the region. Agricultural research and processing facilities in the wider district, including a rice research presence near Kala Shah Kaku, support local farming practices and post-harvest handling.

  • Muridke: administrative and commercial center
  • Narang Mandi: grain and commodity trading hub
  • Industrial zones: textile and manufacturing plants, including rayon production
  • Agricultural research: facilities that support rice and other crop development

Transport links are an important feature: Muridke is connected by road and rail to larger cities in Punjab, facilitating movement of people and goods and enabling access to regional markets. As an administrative tehsil, Muridke plays a local governance role, coordinating municipal services and development initiatives across its urban and rural communities.
