Nawan Lahore or New Lahore ( Urdu: نیا لاہور) is a town located, near Painsra City in the Toba Tek Singh District in Pakistan.
It is about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Painsra, [4] midway between the major cities of Jhang [1] to the west, and Faisalabad, 40 kilometres (25 miles) to the east. The capital city of Punjab, Lahore, is 212 km (132 mi) by road to the east. [4]
During the 20th century, the town developed as a stopping point along the Lyallpur- Jhang trade route. [1]
As of 2015, its population was approximately 19,500 people, making it the largest town in Gojra Tehsil. [2]
The town serves as an educational and trading center. It has a Union Council (one of two in Gojra Tehsil) overseen by Chairman Mian Shamshad-ul-Haq, as well as 4 wards.
It was declared a sub- tehsil of Gojra (the tehsil of Toba Tek Singh) by the government. The offices of the Assistant Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are due to be constructed there, on government-owned land about 3 to 5 kilometers from the main area of the sub-tehsil. [4]
Nawan Lahore hosts public and private schools and colleges.[ citation needed]
