Talking to The Express Tribune official sources said that the Archaeology Department has been working on the renovation of the historic Mughal-era mosque which is situated inside the old walled city.
“The Archaeology Department is working on the restoration and renovation of the mosque but the real hindrance is the shops constructed in the past few decades around the mosque. These shops have not only affected the real beauty of the building but also are a main hurdle in the renovation of all parts of the mosque,” said the officials.
