Liaquatabad Town (Urdu: لیا قت آباد ٹاؤن) lies in the central part of the city of Karachi, in Pakistan. Liaquatabad Town was formed in 2001 as part of The Local Government Ordinance 2001, and was subdivided into 11 union councils. The town system was disbanded in 2011, but later was restored by the government in early 2022.[1] Also Liaquatabad Town was re-organized as part of Karachi Central District in 2015.
