Once a route for grazing elephants (Pic during 1880)
During Mughal and early British rule, this area was the route for herds of elephants from Peelkhana to Ramna and its adjoining canals for grazing and washing. The hump back bridge over the old railway line (now road), south of Motalib Plaza, was known as Hatir-pul.

you while shopping and you mentioned
about your blog. It seemed interesting
to me. I was gone for some time
after that but I finally checked out
your blog and it's just like you said!
Well anyway take care and write
sometime if you ever have time...
