The Pakistan Army has completed and inaugurated the New Military Barracks Colony on the outskirts of Lahore. This 200-acre residential development, constructed under a public-private partnership since 2022, includes over 3,000 housing units, a school, a hospital, a commercial market, and modern paved roads. It is being allocated to officers and families of the Pakistan Armed Forces as part of the army’s housing scheme, with full occupation expected by the end of 2026.
In a major cultural initiative, Lahore authorities have officially begun restoring historic Hindu, Sikh, and colonial-era names across the city, reversing decades of Islamisation. Key locations such as Islampura (now Krishan Nagar), Babri Masjid Chowk (now Jain Mandir Chowk), Lakshmi Chowk, Dharampura, Queens Road, and Lawrence Gardens are being reinstated. This effort is part of the Lahore Authority for Heritage Revival (LAHR), a PKR 50 billion urban conservation program aimed at reviving the city’s multicultural identity and architectural legacy.
