The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is set to restore the historic Barapullah bridge in Nizamuddin, which dates back to the reign of Mughal emperor Jahangir. The 200-metre-long bridge, built over 400 years ago with 12 piers, was recently handed over to the ASI following an anti-encroachment drive.
Delhi's Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena, announced that the restoration will be completed within three months, aiming to rejuvenate the bridge and restore its former glory. De-silting of the drain beneath the bridge is currently underway, and ASI will commence the restoration work immediately after this process is finished.
