Srinagar, August 6: Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Sunday shared a video on Twitter of the newly-redeveloped clock tower in Srinagar's historic Lal Chowk. The clock tower, which has been a witness to the eventful journey of Jammu and Kashmir, now reflects the brightness of peace, progress, and prosperity sweeping across the region under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Puri said in his tweet.
The clock tower was built in 1902 by the British colonial rulers. It was damaged in the 2014 floods and subsequently renovated by the Jammu and Kashmir government. The redevelopment project was undertaken by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs at a cost of Rs 2.5 crore.
The clock tower is now a major tourist attraction in Srinagar. It is also a symbol of the new era of peace and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir.
In his tweet, Puri said, "The clock tower in Srinagar's historic Lal Chowk has mirrored the times it has witnessed in the eventful journey of Jammu & Kashmir. This redeveloped sentinel now reflects the brightness of peace, progress & prosperity sweeping across under leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji."
