Gulzar Houz Becomes Plastic Dump in 2 Years After Rs 30 Lakh Renovation

Gulzar Houz Becomes Plastic Dump in Two years after the much hyped inauguration, the Gulzar Houz, a nearly four centuries old fountain, is reduced into a plastic waste dump yard.

The historic fountain after months of careful reconstruction was inaugurated in October, 2023. 

The Quli Qutb Shah Urban Development Authority (QQSUDA) had spent nearly Rs. 30 lakh on its rebuilding.



The Deccan Terrain Heritage, a company with expertise in heritage conservation had reconstructed the structure and brought it back to life.

“For a few months, things seemed to have changed and the fountain was attractive and clean. But then, the whole thing went back and it is now reduced into a waste dump yard. Plastic bags and bottles are dumped inside the water,” said Sirajuddin, a local shopkeeper.
