Liaquat Pur was named once " Chau-Dari  " from Persian it is translated as "4 - windows". When Bahawalpur was a Princely state,  nawabs  of Bahawalpur constructed here a big Minaret and on the top of this Minaret there were 4 Windows,  Usually seen in Mughal  or  Islamic Architectures. The purpose of building this Minaret was to watch over the movements of the Army of  Jaisalmer state. Whenever there was some unusual movement 1 of these 4 soldiers sitting and watching on this Minaret blew a big bang bell, as an alarm to get ready for Nawab's Armies. Although after the Partition of Pakistan and India this area was renamed as Liaquata pur  in honor of  first  Prime Minister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan.
