P & T Colony is a government-owned residential scheme originally developed by the Pakistan Post & Telegraph Department for its staff. The colony is characterized by basic, aging housing units and offers limited modern amenities. Its key attractions include a modest community park and relatively easy access to Multan Road, but the area suffers from infrastructural issues such as poor maintenance and open sewers.
