Barkat Ali Islamia Hall, which was built in 1888, long before the creation of Pakistan, all important political leaders used to deliver speeches there. The Punjab Walled Cities and Heritage Areas Authority completed its renovation work in the year 2023 and after its beautification, started organising various programmes here, said a spokesperson for the authority.
The purpose of organising the event was to inform the residents of the city about importance of the city and the old historical buildings in the city so that they could know the historical importance of buildings like Barkat Ali Islamia Hall in the city.
