The Pakistani Gate is a central point and historical monument in Jaranwala. In January 1917, Harbel Singh a well-known mill owner, factory owner and landlord, maternal grandfather of
Khushwant Singh and father-in-law of
Sir Sobha Singh, notified the area committee of Jaranwala to construct a wooden gate to welcome the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab,
Sir Michael Francis O'Dwyer, in Jaranwala. After his visit, the gate was named O'Dwyer Gate. However, after the
Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the people demanded to rename the gate, the name of O'Dwyer was removed from the gate and it was renamed the Railway Gate. On the visit of
Nehru on 1 June 1936, it was renamed the Nehru Gate, and the president of Municipal Committee Jaranawala Lala Harnam Das approved the name on 30 March 1937. The name was changed again after the independence of
Pakistan, when the first president of the Municipal Committee of Jaranawala, Syed Altaf Hussain, renamed it the Pakistani Gate. The Pakistani Gate was reconstructed in 1956, 1967 and 2009. == Demographics ==
