Although not specific to Zafar Colony, the broader Lahore renaming initiative—approved in March 2026 by the Maryam Nawaz-led Punjab Cabinet—proposed restoring pre-Partition names like Lakshmi Chowk (currently Maulana Zafar Ali Khan Chowk) and Dharampura (currently Mustafaabad). However, the plan was deferred due to backlash from extremist elements and social media vloggers who framed it as ideologically problematic, halting implementation citywide including potential implications for colonies with historical naming ties.

Prospective residents are warned to verify the legitimacy of plot sales to avoid fraud, as rapid development has attracted some illegal housing-society schemes.
Inconsistent utility services, particularly irregular water supply from WASA with frequent shortages. Incomplete sanitation infrastructure. Electricity supply by LESCO is subject to frequent outages, especially during heatwaves.
Ongoing construction leads to gaps in road quality. Many streets and communal facilities are still under construction. Drainage systems are often overburdened and prone to seasonal flooding.
Lack of fully-established amenities. Access to higher education is limited within the colony, requiring commuting.
Security is generally considered acceptable but not as robust as in more established societies. Occasional reports of minor crimes such as thefts and burglaries.
