About Lahore Cantonment Board (LCB)

Welcome to the official website of the Lahore Cantonment Board (LCB), a cornerstone of administration and development in Lahore, Pakistan. Established in 1850 under the Cantonments Act of 1924, LCB has played a pivotal role in shaping the Lahore Cantonment area, which stands as a separate administrative unit within the city of Lahore.

Historical Significance: LCB's history is deeply rooted in the pages of Lahore's past. On February 10, 1846, the British Army captured Lahore, and their initial camp was set up in Anarkali. Subsequently, Lahore Fort was occupied and garrisoned by troops under the command of Sir Charles Napier. In 1850, Sir Charles Napier proclaimed the present area of Lahore Cantt as Mian Mir Cantonment, marking the birth of the Lahore Cantonment we know today.

Administration and Governance: Initially, the Station Commander held the powers of the Board as an Administrator. However, with the constitution of a proper Board under section 13 A of the Cantonments Act 1924, a significant shift occurred. After Local Government Elections in April 2015, a proper Board was established. The Lahore Cantonment has been divided into ten electoral wards, with the Board comprising:

The Officer commanding the station or, if directed by the Federal Government, another military officer nominated by the Competent Authority.
Twelve elected members.
The Health Officer.
The Maintenance Engineer.
A first-class Magistrate nominated by the District Magistrate.
Nine civil or military officers nominated by the Officer Commanding the station through written orders.

Our Vision and Mission: LCB's vision is to be a model of efficient urban administration, committed to enhancing the quality of life for residents within the Cantonment. We aim to provide top-notch municipal services, manage public works, promote education and healthcare, maintain parks and recreation areas, and regulate land use and development. Our mission is to ensure the well-being and prosperity of our community by delivering essential services, preserving the unique heritage of the Cantonment, and promoting sustainable development.
