However, this is the first time after Independence that restoration of the fort is being planned out elaborately. After demolishing the structures the proposal for restoration and rejuvenation will be prepared out elaborately," an official said.Accordin to the report of TOI, "The fort is also in a very dilapidated condition and we would need to appoint a heritage consultant to understand about the kind of stones and other fine detailing of the structure.
