Haveli of Seth Dewan Amarnath, Eminabad. The Chopra family haveli in Diwan Mohalla at Eminabad co-exists with a handful of jharokha fronted Havelis of other Eminabad Diwans. They are now in the hands of those who took over after the Partition. Of the original 120-roomed four stories, two stories were taken down to prevent collapse after a huge old railing fell. It was later replaced with brick and cement. Now mostly demolished in Mohalla Dewan Wala in Eminabad. The apathy of the Pakistani archeology department is disgraceful. Treasures and heritage are being systematically destroyed.
