Baldia Town (Sindhi: بلدیا ٽائون, Urdu: بلدیہ ٹاؤن ) lies in the western part of the city with a population of more than 400,000 as per the 1998 census. Baldia Town was formed in 2001 as part of The Local Government Ordinance 2001, and was subdivided into 8 union councils. The town system was disbanded in 2011,[1] and Baldia Town was re-organized as part of Karachi West in 2015.
In 2020, Kemari District was carved out from Karachi West District. So Baldia Town ended up being part of Kemari District.[2][3][4]
