Kamran lashari walled city near florence

Kamran Lashari, a bureaucrat whose career spans over four decades, is known for carrying out development works. Bol News spoke to him about the works he is carrying out in Lahore and the rich cultural history of the capital city of Punjab. The city of Lahore — the cultural capital of Pakistan — was initially surrounded by a mud wall and 13 gates that served as the exits to the city and this is traced from the ancient times around BC when it was Prince Luv, the son of Hindu god Ram, who had laid the foundations of Lahore.

Therefore, Lahore derives its name from Luv and over the years it has turned into one of the finest cities in the world. The Sikhs, native rulers, and the British have also ruled the land. We have Akbari Mandi, the largest spice market in Asia with more than shops that exist even today and this is what led to the colonization of India.

The British had come here as traders of spices, and eventually took over India.
