Humayun Mahal in Chepauk complex will be one of the first magnificent heritage structures to be restored among monuments being renovated by the Public Works Department, which has speeded up its work. Besides Humayun Mahal, work is on at the tower block in the University of Madras, the south and north wings of the PWD premises and in the Deputy Registrar’s Office building on Rajaji Salai. Officials of the Building Center and Conservation Division of the PWD, which renovates archaeological and heritage buildings, said nearly 70% of the ₹41.12 crore project to renovate the fire-ravaged Humayun Mahal, which was started in 2019, has been completed so far. About 60 skilled masons are working at the site, and the project may be completed by February or March next year.More Related News
