The Archaeological department in Kerala has sought to set up a museum at the site of the Tipu Sultan’s fort at Feroke in Kozhikode district and a master plan for the conservation and restoration of the historical remnants recovered from the area.
A report prepared by the department suggested in-depth studies at the fort, a testament to the Mysore kingdom’s invasion of Kerala in late 18th century. The third level of excavation works taken up by the department concluded on September 30.
The report said the unfinished fort and the land on which it is located should be brought completely under the control of the department. A museum should be set up at the bungalow built by the Basel Mission on the premises.
