Punjab Govt Starts Work on a Rs2 Billion Project to Renovate Historic Buildings

The Punjab government has started work on a Rs2 billion project to renovate dilapidated buildings in Lahore and four other districts of the province.

Millions of rupees have reportedly been released for the Dilkash Lahore scheme to give the city an attractive look. Officials said other districts would also start receiving the funds soon, but a new city was likely to be added in place of Muridke.

Provincial Local Government Secretary Dr Naeem Rauf told The Express Tribune that the historic buildings in Lahore and other districts would be restored to their original form and the culture of Punjab would also be highlighted.
