Rain, festivals stall work at Khila Shahpur fort

Portion of a mud wall collapsed in heavy rain last year
One year after a portion of a mud wall of Khila Shahpur collapsed in heavy rain, the Telangana Department of Archaeology and Museums has taken up restoration work on the site.
The mud fortress that sprawls over nearly 10,000 square metres presents a challenge as parts of it have crumbled in the absence of maintenance. “Our team is working on the part that was affected due to last year’s rain. It will take some time before we can carry out the complete work,” said a worker at the site.
The present round of restoration began in July but is now stalled due to rain and festival holidays. The total cost of the restoration work has been pegged at ₹1.26 crore.
