The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has initiated a large-scale redevelopment project in the Purani Military Barracks Colony, located adjacent to the Lahore Fort. The project includes demolition of illegal encroachments, upgrading of roads, drainage systems, and utility infrastructure, and relocation of affected families to government-approved housing schemes in DHA and other colonies. The effort is part of a broader initiative to preserve the historic fort’s surroundings while modernising the urban fabric. However, the rapid pace of evictions and compensation disputes has sparked protests from longtime residents.
