He explained that “in case there is any factual or technical error or misinformation in the text, please let us know so that we can fix it” because the app has been developed as a senior year project by undergraduate students and not by historians.
Please note that the App is a product of research carried out by undergraduate students who are not professional historians. In case there is any factual or technical error or misinformation in the text, please let us know so that we can fix it.#walkinginlahore #LahoriKhoji
