The ground engineers, architects, monument experts and officials, who successfully conducted a test to check the feasibility to move the historic Tipu Armoury to a new spot, have moved the structure by 40 metres using Hydraulic Body Push Rams on the first day yesterday.
It may be recalled that the digging process around the semi-buried armoury began about five months ago. Monument shifting experts had lifted the nearly 1000-tonne armoury last month and had placed it on a series of iron piers for support and the monument was moved by 40 meters yesterday till 5.30 pm to be relocated to a new spot which is 100 meters away from the original site.
