150-year-old police outpost building on Tank Bund to be restored

The popular Tank Bund might get another eye-catching addition soon with the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department deciding to restore the erstwhile Gandhi Nagar Police Station outpost on Tank Bund.

The structure, which has some historical significance, is located right on the pavement of Tank Bund and presently is not being used by any department. The structure was built



with stone and has a parking area too.

Responding to a suggestion for restoration of the structure from heritage enthusiast and architect Asif Ali Khan on Twitter, Urban Development Special Chief Secretary Arvind Kumar said he would look into the suggestion and take it up.

Khan, in his tweets said that after restoration, the structure could still be used by the cops.
