As part of the broader Lahore Heritage Revival project, the Punjab government has formally announced plans to restore the original historic names of Lahore's neighborhoods and landmarks. This includes officially reverting the area currently known as Islampura back to its original name, Mustafabad (formerly Dharampura). The decision, discussed in high-level meetings and announced in early April 2026, aims to revive the city's cultural heritage and reconnect new generations with Lahore's historical identity. The restoration process will be gradual and involve consultations with experts to maintain social harmony.

The Mustafabad (Lalyani) area on Lahore's Ferozpur Road is experiencing active real estate development and sales activity. Major projects like Garden City are reporting rapid on-ground progress in road infrastructure and construction, signaling a value growth phase for early investors. Concurrently, numerous residential plots in various housing schemes (e.g., Bismillah Phase 2, Al Hayat Housing Scheme, Anayat Colony) are being advertised for sale, often highlighting features like installment plans, gated communities, and developed infrastructure.

Residents of the Rambagh area have publicly criticized the government over the severely dilapidated state of Mustafa Colony Road, demanding urgent repairs to improve commuting conditions and safety.

Provincial infrastructure plans indicate that the proposed Ring Road II is slated to run alongside the Laliani canal which traverses the Mustafabad area. This signals potential future improvements in regional connectivity and transportation access for the neighborhood.
