Fareed Gate Explained

Fareed Gate, also spelled as Farid Gate, is a historical gate of the old city of Bahawalpur, Pakistan.[1]

History

Fareed Gate is named after Khwaja Ghulam Farid.[2]

Under a local beautification initiative, Farid Gate was selected for restoration.[1] This followed an art project illuminating buildings along Circular Road with murals of local life.[1] However, the renovation halted abruptly, leaving behind construction debris and traffic disruption.[1] Additionally, a fountain at the site remains non-functional since its deactivation in 2011.[1]
