On January 28, 1984, upon the invitation of Khawaja Zaheer-ud-Din, a group of eminent citizens belonging to diverse disciplines and pursuits gathered at his residence at 36-T, Gulberg II, and the need for a conservation society was floated. I was also invited because of a full-page article, titled ‘Lahore and face-lifting,’ I had published in Pakistan Times.
