Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today sanctioned Rs 70 lakh for the restoration and conservation of the historic 'Lahori Gate' and 'Delhi Gate' of the famous Qila Sultanpur Lodhi in Kapurthala district.
Disclosing this here today, a spokesperson said Punjab CM had recently deputed a team of cultural affairs led by Secretary, Cultural Affairs, P Raji Srivastva to visit the site for assessing the damage caused to these prestigious monuments due to recent heavy rains.
The team sought Rs 45 lakh for the conservation of crumbling Lahori Gate and Rs 25 lakh for the preservation of Delhi Gate, which too was in dilapidated condition.
On the recommendations of the team, the Chief Minister also granted permission to immediately begin the work to support the portion of tilted tower of Lahori Gate through iron scaffolding at a cost of Rs 5 lakh.
Srivastava apprised the Chief Minister that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of this project has been prepared and the work could be executed soon after tendering the project.
