What significiant changes made by the britishers in gobindgarh fort in 1849
Answers
The Gobindgarh Fort, a legacy of Maharaja Ranjit Singh that remained under the control of the army for over 150 years, is yet to be thrown open to the public even as its keys were handed over to the civil administration in 2006 by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
While there seems to be no dearth of funds for the ongoing conservation of the historic fort, the snail's pace of work being undertaken there is delaying the plan to open its gates for public viewing.
The officials of the district administration claimed that the deadline for the project was over long ago and the officials concerned of the tourism department, who are overseeing the conservation work, were directed to expedite the same. However, the officials of the tourism department maintained that there were different deadlines for various projects to be undertaken in the fort. They added that even as the work on various edifices inside the fort is underway, detailed project reports (DPRs) for other projects are still to be prepared and sent to the central government for its approval and funding
