Mysore: Following reports of cracks in the historical Silver Jubilee Clock Tower or Dodda Gadiyara at Gandhi Square in city, the Heritage Committee will submit a report to the District Administration on the measures to be taken to restore the iconic structure. The Committee will prepare a Detailed Project Report on the restoration.
Though the 75-foot tall structure is safe, cracks have developed in the area where the bell is situated at the top portion. There is a 5.5 feet bell on top of the tower and it has stopped ringing since the last 30 years. The weight of the French-made bell is around 920 kg. The arch of the structure has cracks owing to rusting of the iron used in the construction process, said officials.
