At the same time, Khalili Rural District was created in the Central District, and Arad Rural District was separated from it in the formation of Arad District, which was divided into two rural districts, including the new Sabz Push Rural District.[5]
After the 2016 National Census, the village of Arad was elevated to the status of a city.[6]
