PROTECTING THE RICH HISTORY OF THE LAHORE INFLUENCES OF BUS RAPID TRANSIT (OLT) ON HERITAGE MONUMENT CHAUBURJI, LAHORE

Abstract

This research strives to revive the significance of Chauburji, one of our magnificent heritage monuments'. Exceeding population and massive transport issues have forced the government to imply new city developmental projects which could cause problems regarding conservation and restoration of several historical monuments. Unfortunately, Chauburji is one of them. Accordingly, this paper tracks the present incarnation of the monument and the influence of the orange line on it during and after the development of mass transit Orange line construction. This paper also addresses the key reasons for the protection and reconstruction of Chauburji with respect to the project of Orange Line Metro Train. The findings will help us hold a glimpse into our glorious historical past.
