The Punjab government has imposed a ban on protest gatherings along Lahore's historic Upper Mall—the northern stretch of Mall Road including Charing Cross—to protect ongoing restoration work under the Lahore Heritage Areas Revival (LAHAR) project. The initiative includes comprehensive road-carpeting, façade rehabilitation from Shah Alam Market to Rang Mahal Chowk, removal of overhead wiring, and landscaping upgrades aimed at reviving the area’s colonial-era character while improving pedestrian safety and traffic flow.
The Upper Mall restoration is part of a wider provincial heritage agenda, including conservation of the 40-acre Lahore Fort complex (26 monuments), rehabilitation of Railway Station Chowk, revival of Misri Shah area, and plans to establish a dedicated heritage restoration wing within the Punjab Tourism Department to ensure long-term stewardship of historic buildings.
