Hi Lenora Regon!
Thanks for the comment. These are the stalls, selling different commodities of daily use.
Thanks Rocksea for the comment. There is no Delhi in Pakistan. The Delhi gate is named as Delhi gate because of its opening on the road from Lahore to Delhi. The gate was built during the Mughal era, Long before the partition of Pakistan and India.
