Multiple reports say Pakistan is renaming some Lahore streets with pre-Partition names. Both outlets mention changes to historical street designations, including the shift from “Islampura” to “Krishan Nagar.” The coverage frames the move as a revival of older, pre-1947 place names rather than a change in present-day administrative functions. While the articles focus on the specific example of Islampura/Krishan Nagar, they describe the broader pattern of updating street naming to reflect earlier nomenclature associated with the city’s historical geography. No details are provided in the shared excerpts about the total number of streets affected, the issuing authority, the timeline, or whether residents and businesses must update addresses and official records. The reports present the renaming as part of a wider effort to bring back historical names in Lahore.
