WCLA launches project for Ranjeet Singh haveli conservation

LAHORE:The Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), in collaboration with the Walled City Lahore Authority, has launched a comprehensive conservation project for the historic Haveli Maharaja Ranjeet Singh Gujranwala, marking a significant milestone in preserving the cultural heritage of the region.

The project is fully funded by ETPB and to be executed by WCLA. The project, initiated on May 2, 2024, aims to restore the 19th-century haveli to its former glory, ensuring its long-term preservation and adaptive reuse. The conservation project will involve restoration work to preserve the haveli's original structure, ornate decorations, intricate carvings, structurally consolidation, roofing and flooring. This will not only ensure the property's structural integrity but also maintain its aesthetic appeal. 

After completion of the conservation work, the haveli will be repurposed for adaptive reuse, providing a unique opportunity for the local community and tourists to experience the rich cultural heritage of the region.
