Building Rules in Lahore

  Their importance in Pakistan is no more than scrap paper.      Every other day in Pakistan one or the other building accident happens. Even if the roof collapses due to light rain, the trapped people get burnt to coal as a result of fire. Most of the buildings have cracks due to the earthquake. Such a situation is not seen in the civilized world. If we compare, there is no doubt that building code and bye are also required in Pakistan but it is also true that most of the laws are thrown in the Kurdish basket.  Government officials sell their faith in the lure of money and against the law and buildings are erected on the basis of greed which is putting the lives of hundreds of people at stake.      Strict building regulations are in place around the world.  Prior to laying the foundation of the building, several permits are required, including the nature and location of the site.      No one is qualified to build a building on...

Historical Rockbound of Lahore

 

    Lahore is one of the most famous, ancient and beautiful historical cities in the world. According to tradition, this city dates back to BC. It is written in the holy book of Hindus that the city of Lahore was settled by Loh, son of Ram, but the history of Lahore is first mentioned in the book "Hudood-ul-Alam" published in 982 AD. Shah Hussain Miran Zanjani along with his two brothers visited Lahore in the same period. Shortly after his arrival, Mahmud Ghaznavi defeated the Hindu Raja Jayapal and captured Lahore, and Mahmud Ghaznavi's slave Ayaz built a fort at Lahore for the first time. 

    After that an important milestone in the history of Lahore was the construction of Sher Shah Suri's Lahore GT Road. With the construction of this road, the city of Lahore was not only connected with the important cities of the subcontinent, but after its completion, the importance, fame and breadth of Lahore city continued to increase. If we study the history of Lahore city, it is very strange The situation arises. At one time Lahore was counted among the most beautiful cities in the world and at another time this city was a victim of looting and destruction. When the Tatars looted and destroyed the city of Lahore, the Mughals rebuilt the city and made it one of the most beautiful and developed cities in the world. A wall was built around the city and 12 gates were built to enter it. The river flowed outside the wall and a beautiful garden was made along the river. Eternal buildings like Badshahi Mosque, Qila Lahore, Shalamar Bagh, Jahangir's Tomb and Wazir Khan Mosque built during Mughal period are still a source of pride for Lahore city. For centuries, a large number of Muslim nobles and nobles in particular were forced to flee the city, and many of the city's beautiful historic buildings, shrines and mosques could not escape looting. At the end of the long dark century from 1750 to 1850, when the British took over the rule of Punjab, a new chapter of development of Lahore opened. The British started construction of many modern buildings in Lahore. Railway Station, Punjab University, Town Hall, District Court, Government College, Museum, High Court, GPO, Montgomery Hall, Aitchison College, Conrad College, Mayo Hospital, Mayo School of Arts, (later National College of Arts) Tollenton Built markets, assembly halls and countless other buildings. All these buildings have a beautiful blend of British, Mughal and Islamic culture. 

    The period of 55 years from 1860 to 1915 proved to be a period of peace, development and prosperity for the people of Lahore. During this period of the British, a modern, beautiful and new Lahore emerged outside the wall. Undoubtedly, this was the period of development and rise of Lahore. Railway system in Lahore started in 1861. Electricity was provided in Lahore city in 1912. The telephone system started. Wide paved roads, sewerage system, supply of clean drinking water, establishment of municipal committee for sanitation, establishment of Lahore Improvement Trust for construction of settlements under urban planning, judicial system for provision of justice and general. A wide range of schools, colleges and universities were started to provide education to the people. It is a miracle of this educational age that eminent personalities like Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Iqbal, Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar, Maulana Zafar Ali and Maulana Maududi were born. During this period, people belonging to Punjab University and Lahore were awarded the Nobel Prize. But after independence, there is a famine of men. After becoming Pakistan, Lahore has lagged far behind many ancient and modern cities of the world in the race for development. Dubai, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, which lagged far behind Lahore in 1947, are today the most developed cities.
