A year after the budget was released for the refurbishing of the Lahori Gate museum, no work has been started. Even though the redevelopment of the museum was proposed in 2008 but despite the budget release in 2017, no work has started yet. "Of the total Rs 3.32 crore sanctioned for the restoration work, we received the initial Rs 1.6 crore last year. Currently, in a bad state, the museum in Shri Narayan Building in Lahori Gate and the area around it is encroached for parking cars by the nearby spice market traders. The dusty plaque hung outside the main door announcing 'Lahori Gate museum'is the only reminder that it was supposed to be a one-stop destination to showcase the charm of the Walled City.
