Stapathis from Mamallapuram working round the clock
Twenty stapathis from Mamallapuram have started work on shifting and restoring five heritage monuments on the premises of Ripon Buildings. After many decades, the heritage monuments, including the bronze statue of Lord Ripon, are expected to be restored to their original condition. Currently, the monuments look like granite structures, because of coats of paint done for many decades. The pedestal is made of granite from areas such as Kancheepuram and Madurai. The Greater Chennai Corporation and Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) have set a deadline of July 10 for shifting the heritage monuments, including the five statues, on the premises of Ripon Buildings.
