Historical Shahi Bagh undergoing massive facelift Peshawar December 28, 2020 PESHAWAR: An unprecedented repair and restoration work is in full swing to revive the glory of Mughal-era Shahi Bagh - one of the oldest and largest gardens in the provincial metropolis. Located in Faqirabad and developed by first Mughal and later Durrani rulers, this majestic park originally spread over 800 kanal of land and has a significant recreational as well as historical value for the city and its inhabitants. Mountstuart Elphinstone, the first British envoy to arrive in Peshawar in his 1809 detailed memoir ‘Kingdom of Caubul’ gushed over the garden with praise. The encroachments made with time after the Independence in the form of unplanned concrete buildings greatly reduced the area of this recreational green space.
