Krishan Nagar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Krishan Nagar is part of Islampura neighborhood of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. . It was named so because of Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. The area was a bustling community with a large concentration of gold shops and jewellers. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the Hindu residents migrated to India. The area became mainly a residential quarter, heavily populated with Muslims. In 1992, after repeated protests from Muslims groups, Krishan Nagar and Sant Nagar were merged and renamed Islampura or the 'The Islamic Town' to accurately reflect its current people.
