The Rawalpindi PHA sent ADP proposals to the Punjab government for many development schemes such as beautification of Rawalpindi worth Rs100 million, construction of PHA building worth Rs75 million, upgradation and remodeling of Liaquat Bagh Rs50 million, construction of Sports Complex at Allama Iqbal Park cum club of Rs100 million, boundary wall of Pothohar park of Rs8.58 million, upgradation of electrification
