District courts get modern security gate

RAWALPINDI:

The reconstruction and renovation of the main entrance gate of the District Courts has entered its final stage, nearly a year after the historic 130-year-old gate was demolished to make way for the construction of the courts underpass.

The old gate was demolished on November 3, 2025, at the start of the underpass project. Although the underpass and overhead bridge were completed around seven and a half months ago, the project committee initially refused to reconstruct the entrance gate.

Following this, District Bar Association President Malik Sajid Mahmood Tarar Awan and Secretary Qamarul Haq Niazi held a special meeting with Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner Nadeem Nasir, urging him to honour the earlier commitment to rebuild the gate.

The deputy commissioner accepted the bar's demand and initiated its reconstruction using his own funds.
