LAHORE:
The historic Akbari Gate of Lahore Fort is expected to be reopened to the public next month after remaining closed for nearly two centuries.
Built during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar, the gate was closed during British rule.
A restoration project launched in 2023 has revived the historic structure for tourism and public activities.
Located on the eastern side of the fort, the Akbari Gate had been constructed to connect the Walled City with the royal citadel. It served as an entry point for citizens, traders and royal delegations.
