The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has sanctioned ₹34 lakh for restoration of the silver jubilee clock tower in the city.
Mayor Sunanda Palanetra said the work on restoration of the clock tower will be taken up by the Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage soon.
Pointing out that the clock tower, situated in front of the Northern Gate of Mysuru palace, required immediate attention, but the heritage experts, who had inspected the 95-year-old structure, had barred the MCC from taking up repair works. The restoration work should be carried out under the expert guidance of heritage experts from the Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage, she said.
