Bahawalnagar Tehsil was given the status of Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) after the implementation of the Punjab Local Government Ordinance 2001.[4]
According to the 2017 Census of Pakistan, Bahawalnagar Tehsil has a total population of 815,143 (133,106 households), with 621,101 people (101,148 households) residing in rural areas and 194,042 people (31,958 households) residing in urban areas.[2]
In February 2015, an action by Bahawalnagar TMA imposed commercial fees on buildings, prompting protests from local students and teachers due to the sealing of seven schools which could not afford to comply with TMA notices.[6]
In March 2018, residents protested Bahawalnagar TMA's decision to give a politically backed factory owner authority over the local water supply.[7]
Economyedit
Major industries in the tehsil include cotton ginning & pressing, flour mills, marble, oil milles, paper & paper board, rice mills, sugar, tea blending, and textile spinning.[8]
Infrastructureedit
The Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company made an agreement with the Bahawalnagar TMA for the construction of a landfill site in 2008. Nine acres and three kanals were acquired at Mauza Musa Bhota for the site, and the project was inaugurated by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in October, 2012. The project cost Rs90 million.[9]
