NEW RAVI, NEW LAHORE, NAYA PAKISTAN
The idea of a new Lahore beside Lahore is, in fact of immense importance for “Lahore’s survival” which has changed “dramatically” in the last couple of decades. Last month, the prime minister inaugurated the ceremony of a multi-trillion rupee development project, under which the Punjab government plans to develop a “most modern city” over an area of more than one 100,000 acres near Lahore. The prime minister let the people know that the modern city project was “vital to save the historical city of Lahore from environmental challenges in the wake of unplanned settlements”.
