Overview and History

Nishterabad is located off the Grand Trunk (GT) road in Peshawar. [5][6][7] It is famous for its CDs and telefilms production and is the hub of CDs and telefilms business but with advent of mobile and internet streaming plus memory card and USB led to decline of CDs production. During its heydays (2004-2010), when the production of CD drama and telefilms business was on its peak, the production companies would produce up to 200 CDs on Eid but now the number is only 45 to 50. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
