Rawalpindi District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not sure how, but it's possible. My nana nani live in Pakpattan shareef. Back in the old days, I think their tehseel and zilla were different but ever since I started writing to them, I always wrote "Tehseelo-o-Zilla Pakpattan" and the mail always got there. So it's common and there are other cities as well that are tehseel and zilla at the same time.

Re: Rawalpindi - District?
