Bhalwal is a city in central Punjab, Pakistan, and the capital of Bhalwal Tehsil in Sargodha District. At the 2023 census it had a population of 117,982, and Wikipedia describes it as the 99th most populous city of Pakistan by the 2017 census. It lies in an agricultural area close to the M-2 motorway and is famous for its oranges. In 2021 the Government of Punjab decided to urbanize 154 small cities and towns in the province, in response to heavy migration from small towns to larger cities such as Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala and Islamabad, and Bhalwal was included in that master urbanization plan because of its sharp increase in migration.
