Punjab Govt to establish Ferozepur Road as a Central Business District

LAHORE: The Punjab Government has announced the development of Ferozepur Road as a Central Business District (CBD) by constructing modern high-rise commercial buildings.

The proposal involves erecting towering commercial centres at the sites of Rescue 1122 Academy and Camp Jail.

As per the estimates, the development of the area into a CBD has the potential to generate billions of rupees for the provincial government.
