Hayatabad

Hayatabad is a suburb on the western outskirts of Peshawar,[1] the capital of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It borders the now defunct Tribal Areas and is close to Torkham, which is the major border crossing point between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The suburb is home to several of Peshawar's educational and health institutions. Hayatabad is named after Hayat Sherpao, a Pakistani Pashtun politician.[2]

Geography

Hayatabad was developed as a residential area near Peshawar in the late 1970s. Primarily residential, it also contains an Industrial Estate.

Hayatabad was developed as an upscale suburb

The government has divided Hayatabad into seven numbered phases. Each phase is subdivided into lettered sectors, A-H.[3] The suburb can be accessed via three routes from Jamrud Road and one from the Ring Road. A fifth route was also constructed, but was sealed for security reasons arising from War on Terror, due to its boundary with the tribal area. Hayatabad will be the western terminus of the TransPeshawar bus rapid transit line.
