[1] The Golden Temple is the most visited place in Punjab, India, with over 100,000 visitors daily.
The stretch from Town Hall to Golden Temple was messed with vehicles, overhead cables, encroachments and street hawkers.
The idea of Heritage Street was created to develop a revampled, no-vehicle zone with a new 'heritage façade' to each of 170 shops in it.
The idea was to give the place a vintage look, reminiscent of Amritsar that existed 400 years ago.
Town Hall was an existing facade and it was a part of the heritage site.
