In a surprise move, Kamran Lashari has tendered resignation as director general of Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA) due to “personal reasons”.
Lashari has sent his resignation to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, saying it has been a great honour and privilege for him to serve at this position.
He said he fulfilled his responsibilities with utmost sincerity and with the motivation to promote the peaceful and rich cultural image of Pakistan, with the aim of attracting both national and international tourism.
“However, due to personal reasons, I find myself unable to continue discharging the duties of this office,” reads the resignation letter.
The sources also cited other potential reasons such as holding marriage events at Lahore Fort without amendments to the 1950 rules behind his resignation.
