Dead Asma Jehangir is good omen but her poop still smells.

When Pakistan was made, this ugly looking building was never there.
It was just a rubble of debris. It was built during 80's and again rebuilt in 90's, after that i don't know how many times but only objective it's reconstruction was corruption, non of public interest until the metro was born.
There's nothing historic associated with this building... there are plenty of heritage houses which Shabaz Sharif restored in old city, interested may go over there.
At least metro can serve the humanity.

We are human biengs with cultural aspirations not dairy animals jinko har cheez men 'kheet' charna he nazar aye.

Chauburji (Punjabi and Urdu: چو برجی‬‎) /QUOTE]

Chauburji (Chau meaning four, burji meaning tower) is one of the most famous monuments among the structures and buildings of the Mughal era in the city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.

In the historic city of Lahore, on the road that led southwards to Multan, the Chauburji gateway remains of an extensive garden known to have existed in Mughal times. The establishment of this garden is attributed to Mughal Princess Zeb-un-Nisa, 1646 AD, which appears in one of the inscriptions on the gateway. The gateway consists of four towers and contains much of the brilliant tile work with which the entire entrance was once covered.

The Gateway of the Four Minarets or Chauburji was once the entrance to one of Lahore's many pleasure gardens. The garden, together with one of the gate's corner minarets (on the north-west) is now lost. An inscription on the gateway records that the garden was established here in 1646, in the reign of Shahjahan, by a lady described as Sahib-e-Zebinda Begum-e-Dauran, or 'the elegant lady of the age'. The lady referred to is probably Jahan Ara Begum, the eldest and favourite daughter of Shahjahan, who was known to have built gardens at Lahore. The gateway is beautifully decorated with rich mosaic-work.

Chauburji represents a strong blend of Mughal architecture with ancient Muslim style of building. Its distinguishing features are the minarets which expand from the top, not present anywhere in the sub-continent. Some, however, believe that there were cupolas upon these minarets which collapsed with the passage of time. Arches are of the so-called 'Tudor' style, adapted to Islamic architecture, particularly in Mughal mausoleums and mosques. The red brickwork is typical of the Muslim buildings of the sub-continent; the doorways and windows running through the interior corridors are examples of the living style that characterised the Mughal buildings. However, the main purpose of building Chauburji appears to be strictly monumental. The decrepit building, which has not lost its elegance, stands alone surrounded by hoardings and bustling traffic on the busy Multan Road.

Work on Orange Line underground stations completed

LAHORE: A joint venture of the China Railways (CR) Corporation and the China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) -main contractor for Lahore Orange Line Metro Train Project`s electrical and mechanical related works -announced on Monday that they had completed the track`s underground stations.

The overall length of the Orange Line track is 51.16km (each side is 25.58km long) with 24 elevated and two underground stations along the route from Dera Gujran (near Quaid-i-Azam interchange) to Ali Town (Raiwind Road). The Orange Line track runs along GT Road, McLeod Road, Lake Road, Multan Road and Raiwind Road. The mass transit system is expected to serve up to 250,000 passengers daily.

`The Orange Line Rail Transit system will prove to be a great asset for Lahore in many ways, as it will not only greatly facilitate daily travel of tens of thousands of people, but it will also reduce vehicular traffic on the roads of Lahore and reduce environmental pollution caused by these vehicles,` said Feng Shuo, CR-NORINCO chief engineer.

`The total cost incurred on work, including the procurement of the trains, is comparable to the lowest costs internationally, he added.
