Sabzazar (Punjabi, Urdu: سبزہ زار) is a neighbourhood and union council (UC 112) located in Allama Iqbal Zone of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Sabzazar is divided into two subdivisions, phase 1 & phase 2.[1][2]
It is surrounded by areas like Allama Iqbal Town, Lalazaar Garden, and Awan Town.
This Lahore Development Authority housing scheme has good access to central Lahore and its outskirts. The Main Boulevard – Sabzazar is a busy road home to a wide range of shops and restaurants. A main boulevard and a service road intersect at the center of the society. A 200 bed "THQ Sabzazar Hospital" is situated at G-Block.
Sectarian issues
[edit]In April 2017, the neighborhood witnessed a sectarian killing, when Mr Ashfaq Ahmad, an Ahmadi Muslim doctor, was killed in a drive-by shooting, when on his way to offer Friday prayers with his grandson. When his car slowed down, a person approached him on his bike and shot him. In Pakistan, the Ahmadis have been defined as heretics and non-Muslim and are subjected to attacks and often systematic discrimination and persecution.[3]
