Pakistan’s Punjab government has deferred its plan and appears to take a U-turn to restore the original historical names of roads and streets in Lahore following criticism from extremist groups over the revival of several pre-Partition Hindu and Sikh-era names.
The Lahore Heritage Areas Revival (LAHR) committee had earlier approved the proposal during a meeting jointly presided over by Nawaz Sharif and Punjab chief minister Maryam Nawaz.
