Über diese Trap
Gujranwala has a cantonment and a main-line railway station, and UK travel advice says not to photograph military sites, airports or any infrastructure, including bridges and dams. British visitors have been arrested on suspicion of spying over photos. Shoot the clock tower, bazaar lanes and gardens instead, ask permission before photographing people, and be extra careful in less touristy areas. If an officer asks you to stop, delete the photo politely and move on.
