LAHORE: The Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA) has launched comprehensive conservation and restoration work at Old Anarkali, one of Lahore’s most historic and culturally significant areas. The total cost of the project is Rs. 1,097 million, and it is scheduled to be completed by December 2027.
This major heritage initiative spans the historic stretch from Jain Temple to Lohari Gate, a corridor known for its rich architectural and cultural legacy, said WCLA on Wednesday.
The project includes extensive infrastructure improvement works aimed at enhancing both functionality and visual coherence of the historic precinct. The scope of work comprises street surfacing and landscaping, development of an underground electrical system with improved street illumination, installation of uniform signage for shops, placement of directional signage for visitors, and implementation of both hard and soft landscaping to revive the historic streetscape while maintaining its authenticity.
