Steel Cutting of Type-54A for Pakistan Navy

Btw, the 'APAR' radar on these ships (SR-2410C) is the same one as on the latter batch of Bangladesh Navy Type-056 (aka C13B) corvettes, namely the BNS Shongram and Prottasha, pennant F113 and F114 respectively:

In all honesty...sensors-wise, the 054P isn't all that different from the BanglaNavy 056. In fact what should be of note to the PN is that until the 054P enters service, the Bangladeshi ships will actually have superior sensors to any PN surface combatant.

These new frigates are sorely needed for PN otherwise their surface component would become woefully outdated even when compared to other South Asian navies.
Not just Type 054A/P, but the PN's MILGEM corvettes and, possibly, Damen OPVs will have modern phased array radars and other sensors (e.g., ESM/ELINT) too. It's a pipeline issue; what's there right now isn't impressive, but the stuff due in 2021-2024 is decent.

What are these two thingy next to chaff launchers on top of heli hanger at the end ?

Illumination/fire control radars for the SAMs I believe. Chinese copy of the MR-90 Orekh fire control radars on Talwar-class/Admiral Grigorovich.
