The Pakistani government has prepared a proposal to grant Islamabad special administrative status, potentially altering the capital's existing structure. The new system could see the mayor of Islamabad assuming the role of head, with between 25 to 30 elected members forming the administration. Authorities have considered two options: either conferring special status on Islamabad or transforming it into a model administrative unit.
The proposed plan also includes an expansion of Islamabad's geographical boundaries, with potential inclusion of parts of Rawalpindi and Haripur. Additionally, some areas falling under NA-51 in Murree district are being considered for incorporation. However, an earlier proposal to include Gwadar or other ports under Islamabad's administration has been dropped. The focus now is on restructuring the federal capital and possibly increasing its territory.
