Shahi Bagh to be developed into theme park

ISLAMABAD: The historic Shahi Bagh in Lahore, which includes sites such as the tomb of Mughal emperor Jahangir and his wife Noor Jehan, is to be developed into major theme park.

According to a Planning Commission document, the park will showcase Mughal heritage, the area’s natural beauty and modern entertainment at a cost of Rs8.3 billion.

The site for the proposed park spans nearly 878 acres along the north bank of River Ravi. Five major heritage buildings — the mausoleums of Jahangir, Noor Jahan and her brother Asif Khan, the Akbari Sarai and the bara dari of Kamran Mirza — are included in the plan. The Shahdara forest, the north bank of the Ravi and a large vacant space to the east of Jahangir’s tomb will also be developed under the project
