The Public Works Department (PWD) has started work to simultaneously restore 20 heritage structures across the State. While restoration works on several British-era structures at a cost of nearly ₹100 crore are at different stages of implementation, 13 more projects have been lined up. The PWD is planning to complete the works within two years. Among the various public heritage buildings that have been identified and are functioning as courts, schools and government offices, nearly 45% restoration work has been completed at the Registration Department building on Rajaji Salai, Chennai, and on the damaged roof and domes at the Tower Block building of the University of Madras.More Related News
