Additionally, five villages from Attock have also been officially declared part of Rawalpindi’s jurisdiction.

This step was taken to address legal complications faced by passengers due to the overlapping jurisdictions of Attock and Rawalpindi.

All areas of Islamabad Airport have now been placed under the Naseerabad Police Station. The Pakistan Airports Authority has confirmed the inclusion of these areas in Rawalpindi’s jurisdiction.
