The 117-year-old Town Hall building, recognised as a heritage structure, is a monument in shambles and a disaster waiting to happen. In front of the broken main door of the building rests a fragile old man. A group of boys sits on the steps near the door waiting to start their next game of cricket in the open space in front. As the morning rays of the sun fall on the rooftop of the Gothic edifice, a pigeon flies from a branch growing out of the walls of the structure. Built by the Maharaja of Bobbili in 1901, in memory of Queen Victoria, the grandeur of this structure today has been reduced to a shadow of its past and desperately awaits restoration. Once called the Victoria Diamond Jubilee Town Hall, the iconic building was handed over to the Municipality in 1904.
After years of neglect, the century-old heritage structure is now set to get a new lease of life. Under the Vizag Smart City Project, the Town Hall and Old Municipal Building will soon be given a facelift. “The renovation of the Town Hall is being taken up with an idea to ensure the history of Visakhapatnam is furthered. The building will be restored as per the original plan with no additions and put to public use,” says Commissioner of Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) M Hari Narayanan. The restoration work for the two buildings will be taken up at a total cost of around ₹ 11 crore.

The latest official statistics have just confirmed what heritage lovers were fearing.
Shahjahanabad — home to more than two dozen important heritage monuments and at least 500 heritage structures and havelis, not to mention signature shopping haunts and eating out experiences, is getting fewer visitors than ever.
The data released by the Ministry of Culture recently shows that the Red Fort has seen a steady decline in visitors. The World Heritage Site saw an earning of Rs 6.03 crore from the sale of entry tickets in 2007, which decreased to Rs 6.01 crore in 2008 and further to just Rs 5.54 crore in 2009.
