12 Darwaja of Ahmedabad

Is there any Darwaja at Gomtipur ??? have you seen it ???

I found one more Darwaja that is Kalupur Darwaja....(or trivia is whether Sarangpur Darwaja and Kalupur Darwaja are the same ??)

In my first post I mentioned Lal darwaja and Shahpur Darwaja....but i think there is No darwaja at Shahpur...its Shahpur Chakla only and the one Darwaja in that area is Delhi Darwaja

There is no Darwaja at Laldarawaja...but we can take The darwaja of Bhadra Fort...in replacement of that......

so still we are missing One Darwaja of Ahmedabad

Khanpur Darwaza is there.
Following Indian Express article has used "Khanpur Darwaza" in 1st para.
http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=10359

TOI also has mentioned Khanpur Darvaza in 2nd line of first para.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/25892619.cms

Kalupur Darvaja is also there.
Read 1st line of last para.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1268575.cms

Saraspur Darvaza or gate.
Googled it. I found Government website which have mention of Saraspur gate. Even Talimrojgar website ha mention of Saraspur gate.

Read address box no.7 from bottom.
http://exciseandservicetax.nic.in/servlets/loc_code_repx_location_area?p1=790205

Even I have read & heard that there are/were 12 gates. How come we are getting 14
