Hyderabad: Pathargatti, a historic boulevard constructed of stone and situated at Madina center, Hyderabad, is in dire need of attention. The monument which was built during the reign of the last Nizam of erstwhile Hyderabad State, Mir Osman Ali Khan witnesses weeds growing on it.
In order to preserve its rich historical significance and maintain its charm, it is imperative that the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) take immediate action.
History of Pathargatti
Pathargatti derives its name from the material used for the construction of the monument. It was constructed using stones (pathar).
It was designed by the renowned engineer Vishveshwaraiah.

Pathargatti serves as prominent business hub in Hyderabad
Over the past century, Pathargatti has served as a prominent business hub in Hyderabad, attracting countless visitors due to its proximity to other historical landmarks such as Charminar and Makkah Masjid.
Neglected and overlooked, the once-majestic boulevard is losing its grandeur as weeds slowly grow on it.
As ASI is responsible for preserving and maintaining historical monuments in Hyderabad, the department need to pay attention to this boulevard too.
