Surankote: The state of Surankote’s historic Shaher e Khaas entry gate, located near Dak Banglow, has raised concerns among residents due to its deteriorating condition.
The neglect and apparent lack of awareness from responsible authorities compound the distress. Despite the gate’s significant historical and cultural value, it remains in a deplorable state, evident in crumbling walls and structural decay.
Regrettably, the department entrusted with heritage preservation seems unaware, neglecting the gradual decline of this cherished landmark.
The community expresses growing frustration as calls for intervention and restoration efforts go unanswered.
The responsible department’s lack of initiative or interest in addressing the gate’s worsening condition leaves locals and heritage advocates deeply perturbed.
Urgent action is needed to raise awareness and prompt authorities to salvage and restore the Shaher e Khaas entry gate, ensuring the preservation of Surankote’s cultural legacy for future generations.
