No disrespect to Pindi... but it needs a major facelift. But I guess thats why they built Islamabad.

asfar001 · November 25th, 2005, 03:32 AM

rawalpindi is getting sort of a facelift. first of all if you go there you will realise that mall road which runs through the centre of the city is being widened into a huge wide highyway type road. secondly muree road the second main road of the city has already been widened up. mureer chowk , is another area which needs attention due to everyday traffic jams...over there the government has planned to build a flyover which i dnt know wether the construction has even begun or not. other than that we all know about the DHA and bahria town projects in pindi which are expanding the city to the south. so over all the city is getting an uplift....you guys make it seem as if its a sick city but in real its pretty nice and clean.

I liked Pindi.. Some of the areas are crap, but there are lots of nice places aswel.. The food street is rather nice.
Mall road has been widened and it looks pretty good..

What I think the city needs is foot paths, better public transport, better traffic controls, and better parking.
The major shopping areas are a mess, sadar for example has TO many cars, and too many shoppers all plying the same street. They need to streamline the traffic, perhaps making some of the street of limits to traffic. They can also build a large parking lot to facilitate shoppers so they dont have to drive through the mess inside, same with Raja bazar.
Also, Pindi pollution has gotten really bad for some reason, too many cars. They need to promote pedestrian traffic through footpaths.
Otherwise, Pindi is great place.. Good food, relatively nice people, and interesting place to walk around in.

Rawalpindi quite honestly is the worst city i have been in. On my way from Lahore to Islamabad we can in through Rawalpindi and i thought i was in hell! It was a rainy day as well and they were a lot of mudslides and what not. It was just damn terrible....

asfar001 · November 25th, 2005, 09:57 PM

JADI · November 25th, 2005, 10:54 PM

Anyone has pictures of the new shopping mall on Bank road?

JADI · November 25th, 2005, 10:59 PM

I think someone shud post pictures of RWP cantt, Gulraiz colony, chaklala, Bahria, and Mall Rd. In my opinion very nice residential areas wid large houses cud easily compete wid most houses in ISB!

There are already lots of roads in Karachi with Bus lanes. Pity the buses arent that keen on using them.

shaz · November 26th, 2005, 04:22 PM

Rawalpindi - Twin Cities

Rawalpindi, Islamabad's Twin City, is located in North East Pakistan and has a population of 1,406,214. It occupies the site of an old village inhabited by the Rawals, a tribe of Yogis. A railroad junction and an important industrial and commercial center, the city has an oil refinery, gasworks, an iron foundry, railroad yards, a brewery, sawmills, and factories making tents, textiles, hosiery, pottery, and leather goods.

Sikhs settled the area in 1765 and invited nearby traders to live in Rawalpindi. After the British occupied the Punjab (1849), it became a major British military outpost. In 1919 a peace treaty ending the Third Afghan War was signed by British and Afghan representatives at Rawalpindi.

The city, strategically located astride the road between the Punjab and Kashmir, is Pakistan's army headquarters. From 1959 to 1970, it was the interim capital of Pakistan. Six colleges affiliated with the University of Punjab, a polytechnic school, a police training institute, and an armed forces medical college are in Rawalpindi.
