Basant was never an enclosure.
It was never a ticket.
It was never a gated experience.
Basant is a rooftop festival—born in homes, shared with neighbors, carried by wind across Lahore. Turning it into a paid, fenced, selectively permitted activity is not “safety.” It is commercialization disguised as control.
The Punjab Government has allowed Basant across Lahore for a defined period with safety SOPs. Once that permission exists, a housing authority does not acquire the power to override culture, law, or basic civic freedoms inside private homes.
