Students of the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) have developed a mobile application ‘Lahori Khoji’ that offers guided tours of the Walled City of Lahore.
LUMS professor and historian Dr Ali Usman Qasmi, while sharing details of the app on social media, said that “students designed the app and researched its content as part of a course offered at LUMS.”
The app, which is available to download from Play Store, was launched as part of World Heritage Day (April 18) celebrations.

Lahore-based historian Faizan Abbas Naqvi also helped the students in designing the app.
The group of students is open to suggestions to improve the application as “app is a product of research carried out by undergraduate students who are not professional historians.”
