While authorities have changed the Hindu names of several places in the old quarters of Lahore over the years, the decision to rename a busy roundabout after Bhagat Singh has been hailed by some local residents as a bold move.
District administration chief Noorul Amin Mengal recently directed the City District Government of Lahore (CDGL) to make arrangements for renaming the roundabout after Bhagat Singh within a week.
Mengal admonished CDGL's Chief Publicity Officer Nadeem Gilani for considering another request to rename the roundabout as Chaudhry Rehmat Ali Chowk.
