The translocation of Tipu Sultan’s armoury at Srirangapatna to pave way for the double-tracking work of the Mysuru-Bengaluru railway line will begin from March 3 and the process will be completed within two days. Architects, ground engineers and monument-shifting experts have already lifted the 1000-tonne armoury up to one foot and have placed the structure on a series of iron piers for support.
Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha visited the site this morning along with railway engineers to check on the shifting work.
