Faisalabad, formerly known as Lyallpur, is Pakistan’s third-most populous city, and the second-largest in eastern Punjab province. It has long since developed into a cosmopolitan metropolis, traditionally one of the first planned cities in British India.
The Faisalabad district is surrounded on the North and West by Hafizabad, Jhang and Toba Tek Singh districts respectively. In the East it touches Sheikhupura and in the South it is bounded by river Ravi, across which lies Okara. The district spreads over an area of 5856 Square kilometers
