^ Nice find!
Must have been transported by surface from Karachi to this place.
Surprised it's transportation and arrival at this place did not get news media attention.

Why mangla or terbela?, the area surrounding the fuselage does not seem to be a public tourism site, probably it is for anti hijacking training by SSG.

Anti hijacking training in a forest..?
If true, this should be displayed somewhere in Apron, or in an armed forces training centre where surrounding should look like an Airport/Apron.

Pakistan Army Special Services Group (SSG) is based at Tarbela.

I remember PTV News report about donation of a retired PIA aircraft for anti-hijack training of Pakistani security forces.
