Gulzar Houz or Bezaar Houz?
The historic Charminar has a vivid monumental importance flanked by different arches (kamaan) and near one such kamaan i.e. Char Kamaan situated Gulzar Houz, a fountain constructed in Nizam era and added beauty to the old city road leading towards Charminar.
Unfortunately, this fountain has become a dumping ground of late. Despite government’s various promotional projects, the mammoth Charminar and Gulzar Houz are still neglected.
The plaster from many places on Charminar gave in whereas GHMC is seen planting saplings at the places, which are not suitable from the tourist’s point of view.
This is my earnest request to the concerned authorities of the GHMC to start the repairing work of one of the minarets of Charminar and revive the past glory of Gulzar Houz and its fountain.
