Pattoki (Urdu: {{Nastaliq|پتّوكى) is a city in the Kasur District of the Punjab province of Pakistan.[2] It serves as the headquarters of Pattoki Tehsil, an administrative subdivision of Kasur District. Pattoki is recognized as the 'City of Flowers' due to its abundance of floral diversity. However, it remains a significantly neglected city in terms of administrative support, with demands persisting for its elevation to district status, especially given its considerable distance from Kasur city.

Location

Pattoki is situated on the N-5 National Highway approximately 73km (45miles) away from Lahore, the capital of Punjab Province. It serves as a significant railway station between the Okara District and Lahore. Additionally, Pattoki is home to one of Pakistan's largest universities, the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Ravi Campus.
