Lehri District
Former district in Balochistan, Pakistan
Lehri District was the 31st district in Balochistan, Pakistan. It was created in May 2013 from parts of the districts of Sibi and Kachhi.[3] But in January 2018, the Cabinet of Balochistan decided to remove Lehri district, which would be annexed into Sibi.[4]
Lehri District used to consist of the following tehsils:
Bakhtiarabad will be the headquarters of the new district carved out under section 6 of the Balochistan Land Revenue Act 1967, according to a notification issued by the revenue department on Tuesday.[citation needed]
It said the district would comprise the tehsils of Lehri and Bhag, except the Sorani revenue area. The tehsils have been separated from the districts of Sibi and Kachhi.[citation needed]
Separating Lehri from Sibi was a longstanding demand of political parties and people of the area. The number of districts in Balochistan has now reached 31.[citation needed]
