Gulzar Houz choked with rainwater despite restoration

In spite of its remodelling and supposedly new drain lines, the historic Gulzar Houz (fountain) near the Charminar has once again fallen victim to rainwater. On Monday, workers could be seen physically removing rainwater which was clogged up inside the monument. This has only raised questions about the work that was



carried out last year during its restoration.

The monument was restored only last year and was inaugurated with much fanfare as well. It may be recalled that Gulzar Houz’s ‘restoration’ was also peculiar, as it was remodelled as it remodelled rather than preserving its original appearance.
