Punjab government is set to revive Lahore’s iconic Basant festival on a limited scale, following recommendations submitted by the Deputy Commissioner of Lahore. The proposal suggests confining celebrations to select inner-city areas, including Shahi Qila, Mochi Gate, Bhati Gate, and Rang Mahal. A key meeting, chaired by Senior Provincial Minister Maryam Aurangzeb, reviewed the proposal and discussed administrative and safety protocols.

Under the proposed regulations, the use of metallic, nylon, or chemical kite strings will be banned, allowing only cotton or starch-coated strings. All kites and strings will carry barcodes, with legal action against unregistered sellers and illegal string manufacturers. To enhance public safety, motorcycle entry will be restricted in designated festival areas, and riders must use safety antennas and neck guards. Safety nets and wire-protection systems will also be installed on major roads to prevent accidents.

This carefully planned limited Basant celebration marks a shift from the full ban imposed in 2019, ensuring that residents can enjoy the festival safely while adhering to strict protocols.
