In 2011, the Government of Punjab decided to urbanize 154 small cities and towns in Punjab, as the result of colossal migration of people from small cities to larger cities like Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, and Islamabad. The master urbanization plan included Bhalwal, due to sharp increase of migration to larger cities.
