Jinnah Garden walk through gates out of order

FAISALABAD: Walk-through gates installed at both entrance points of historic Jinnah Garden commonly known as Company Bagh have been lying out of order for the last one year.

Alarms of both walk-through gates installed at main entrance on Club Road and back entrance on Bilal Road were silent when people passed through them.

The Bagh-e-Jinnah was the oldest garden of the city where a large number of people, including businessmen, officers, women, children and elders visit daily in the morning and evening time for walk and exercise.

20 years on, people still await plots

The Jinnah Garden was also considered as best recreational place of the city where educational trips of various educational institutes come but there are no proper security arrangements in the garden.

When contacted, Jinnah Garden Assistant Director Sana said that some technical faults had occurred in the walk-through gates and related company had been contacted for removing the faults.

Both walk-through gates would soon be made functional, she hoped.
