ASI plans to make the wiring discreet and light up the monument in a better way
Visitors and tourists will no longer have to see Charminar through a cobweb of tangled wires and cables. The Archaeological Survey of India is taking steps to make the wiring discreet and light up the national monument in a better way.
The improved system will also make the 430-year-old monument in Hyderabad more accessible with better lighting inside the minarets that take visitors to the upper storey, according to officials of ASI.
On Monday night, there was a tizzy near Charminar when a pneumatic drill was pressed into service for drilling a hole within the perimeter of the monument. “There were unnecessary rumours with videos being circulated. It was for installing the generator, being done by the ASI people,” said a police official near the outpost on the eastern side of the iconic structure.
