The old-versus-new city debate is really a debate about what people are afraid of losing.
In Muktsar, that usually means pace, familiarity, manners, noise, or some beloved neighborhood shorthand that no longer works the same way.
Nobody is asking for time to freeze exactly.
They are asking whether growth still knows how to respect character.
That is why these conversations keep returning.
The city changes. The question survives.
Do you think Muktsar is gaining something important or losing something harder to replace?
