Re-construction of Murgi Chowk with Rs 3.5 cr
Nawab Asman the Bahadur, the late Prime Minister of the princely state of Hyderabad during 1887 and 1894, constructed a rectangle shaped Mahbub Chowk. There is a five-storied clock tower in this chowk, but the chowk is now encroached by street vendors. Some parts of the building almost collapsed, and it is now lying in dilapidated condition. The GHMC sanctioned Rs 5 crore to reconstruct the building, with the help of this fund an underground cellar along with ground and first floor will be constructed. The GHMC also sanctioned Rs 1.5 cr to renovate the old clock tower in the market.
