Founding father
The late Ch. Abdul Rehman was a great leader of present-day Aliabad. He ruled over the political scenario of the district of Abbottabad. Because of his visionary and missionary leadership, a backward area (Pichh Bhannah) turned into the literate, skilled, and civilized town of Aliabad. His contributions towards social development programs like road development, water, electricity, and Educational programs helped develop the town.
