Updated on Sep 24, 2023 11:51 PM IST
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has repaired the collapsed dome of a cell at Purana Qila that was used as office space. The restoration process involved demolishing additions made over the years and recreating the dome using traditional materials. The ASI also repaired gaps and cracks in the structure and filled cavities with rubble. The cost of the restoration was approximately ₹25 lakh ($34,000). Purana Qila is a historic site in Delhi that has been continuously inhabited for over 2,500 years.
