Rawalpindi Division, also locally known as Pothohar or North Punjab region, is an administrative division of Punjab Province, Pakistan. Rawalpindi city is the capital of the division. According to the 2017 Census of Pakistan, the total population of division was 10 million.[1] Divisions are the third tier of government below the federal and provincial levels.
In 2000, local government reforms abolished administrative divisions and raised the districts to become the new third tier of government.[2] But in 2008, the division system was restored again.[3][4]
