Mohammed Riyaz, a resident near the area, said that one of the stones in the wall collapsed and subsequently, many dressed stones fitted into the Gate came down. "I was sitting inside one of the arches attached to the gate and after hearing the sound of stone collapsing, I ran from there," he said. Mr. Riyaz said: "For a moment, I thought that the whole structure would come down, as it was raining heavily." Reseracher G.

After the road widening from Ambedkar Chowk to Chaubara, residents using the gate to commute between old city and Mohan Market has increased. Another resident, Moinuddin, said the structure needs attention and officials should take steps to restore the gate, which is in dilapidated condition. The gate wall has developed cracks.
