Government Zamindar College, Gujrat is a government college located in the Gujrat District of Punjab, Pakistan.[1] [2] The college also offers postgraduate courses.
It was founded as Cold Stream Zamindar School by Nawab Sir Fazal Ali, grandfather of Nawabzada Ghazanfar Ali Gul and Nawabzada Mazhar Ali.[2] [3] In 1936, it was upgraded into a college.[3]
The mosque's foundation was laid by then governor of West Pakistan, Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar, in 1950.[2] The mosque, modeled after Lahore's historic Badshahi Masjid, features a main hall measuring 120 by 67 feet.[2]
In 2011, during renovation a dome collapsed which led the Government of Punjab to label the entire college and remaining five domes as hazardous.[2] As a result, the college administration ordered their demolition and closed the main hall, following engineering advice regarding potential structural failure.[2]
