LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday suspended the Punjab caretaker government notification and restored Gujrat as a division and Wazirabad as a district.

The case was heard by Justice Shahid Karim in Lahore High Court and notices were issued to the Punjab government and others.

Earlier on February 15, the Mohsin Naqvi-led caretaker government suspended the notifications for the creation of the new administrative division of Gujrat, districts of Murree, Wazirabad, Talagang and Kot Addu, besides Jalalpur Jattan and Kunjah tehsils, till the holding of general elections in the province.
