It’s a street in Lahore, not in European city, the most viral on social media in Pakistan now a day. After it, tourists are visiting the street to see if it is real or photoshopped. Actually, the street looks so attractive that it attracts tourists towards itself as it is the model street designed and decorated by the Walled City of Lahore Authority, Aga Khan Culture Service Pakistan and the Akhuwat Foundation.
Gali Surjan Singh was named after Hakim Surjan Singh, the 19th century physician who lived in the street. Surjan Singh was a known physician in that era and was respected by the people.
Recently, the walled city of Lahore authority, took up the task of revamping the look and feel of the street in partnership with Akhuwat Foundation. A branch office of the Akhuwat Islamic Microfinance is also located in the same street who give interest free loans to the local entrepreneurs for enhancing their household income.
Now this is a must visit street for all the tourists and Lahore lovers, and it’s true that who hasn’t seen this street is not yet born.
